2800 lb car with 4.88 gears gives you a lot of flexibility on the cam. I'd be interested in knowing in how much power you're trying to make and if you want to get aggressive with the cam or have something that goes rounds without any maintenance.

If it was my car I'd probably use a street roller like the XR292R from Comp. That should make good power in a 440 with 12:1 compression and EZ heads without beating up the valve springs. I'm assuming 1.5 rocker arms?
