I told him the factory 68 440 magnum cam would be a good choice. What are your thoughts? thanks. He does drive the car quite a bit.

On street radials, thru the logs and complete exhaust. Automatic w/ 3.55's. Hi-Po manis are fine if you stick with a mild cam. I'd also consider swaping the intake out for a CH4B they look almost stock. If you grind the Eddy offf and paint it 90% of the donkeys wouldn't even know it wasn't stock.

Another decent choice would be the lunati voodoo 60302, it'll be similar in spec to the stock hp cam. I chose the voodoo 60302 after a lot of debate on which one to run. I could not be happier. 67 915 headed 440, performer intake with a 850 cfm TQ and manifolds. I have a solid 16 In. of vacuum at idle and is a brute from idle right up to 5500 rpm. No problems with my power brakes at all. Last edited by T2R9; 07/08/11 11:16 AM.

Stock manifolds with hemi style mufflers. 15 inches of vac at idle and it idles smooth at 850. Cam is not lumpy at all. Idle's like a stock 68 HP motor. Makes great power. Pulls hard to 6000. I love it.

I love it. Yeah but it sounds like he's got a low-cr 70's 440. I put a 60303 in one and it was okay, but I had 3.55 gears and headers. His combo sounds even more tame so I bet he'd want to go a lil milder.
