I used the 296*/.557 Mopar solid cam with 1.5 Sig Erson rockers in a bracket 440 I built 30 years ago. It was mostly stock, "906" heads, 2.08 x 1.74 valves, no porting or blueprinting, heavy TRW 10.5 pistons, 6-pack rods, stock balance, single plane intake and a borrowed 850 DP. That cam was very civilized in that combo. You could go a lot bigger in a bigger motor and be just as civilized.

My new blueprinted 440 has a Comp hydraulic cam with more lift and duration with 1.6 adjustable
rockers. Not that I am lazy, but I don't want to be adjusting a solid cam anymore. This is my hobby, not my obsession
