right now the eddy E-street heads are on sale for 1200 pair and they have a $100 off promotion,(Jegs or Summit) the 75 cc angle plug the 84 cc straight plug, if you have headers that accept the angle plug you can bump compression by about a point plus have bigger valves and better flow

I've been trying to find a happy medium on heads and cam. Either get the smallest cc head to raise compression a bit or stay at really low compression then find a cam that someone has had some experience with. I know quench is what to shoot for but it's not in the cards for a while.

I put a Comp Cams 260H grind( I think anyways (maybe it was the XE262 cam. It was back in the early 2000s when I put that motor together to sell it) in a 383 motor or my 1969 Dart GTS 4 sped car. That cam has a very small lope and pulls hard form a dead idle all the way up to where I shift by sound, at WOT probably around 6000 RPM It works good

hi
i now have 4.30 but i think car would be quicker with 4.10 , not enough cam for 4.30
3.55 got me to 12.7 - 109 mph
i used to drive it 58 miles to track and 58 miles back and make 8 passes on 1 full 16 gal tank of fuel with 3.55 . on E when i got home .
trailer it now .
torque is what you want , dont chase the hp number it mostly leads to disapointment . Torque is what I want. It’s not going to the track. That’s why I originally asked about those cams. They “seem” make torque on a low compression engine. I know it’s easy to go down a rabbit hole so I’m limiting myself to heads and a cam.

Bowl blend the 452’s, mill .030, correct intake side, use steel shim gaskets. While they’re off, have them set up for posi valve seals and increase retainer to seal clearance....... upgrade springs. However, if after pulling them apart, don’t be surprised if you see ex seat recession.
If your headers are angle plug friendly, and it’s in the budget..... the 75cc E Streets make a lot of sense.

Looks like I might get the e-streets and the thinnest gasket. I haven’t pulled the heads and measured deck height but I used .140 and hoping it’s better than that. 8.8:1 is what I got in a calculator based off 75cc head, .027 gasket, and .140 in the hole piston. I forgot to mention I have power brakes so I think that rules out the whiplash from what I’ve read. Also, 91 is the highest octane anywhere close. I still would rather not change out the converter and gears.

It’s hard for me to imagine there being any kind of PV clearance issues running a 221@.050/112lsa cam in a 440 with pistons down the hole .140.
I did it with a stock 68 short block(pistons down the hole .055), 346 heads that had been milled a bit and steel shim gaskets

I’ll see what he thinks on some of the cams mentioned here. If it’s a cam that needs degreed then he would be the one to install it anyways. I don’t have the tools for it.

ALL cams need to be degreed. Too many valve timing critical manufacturing steps that can be messed up that can't be seen without accurate measurements. Kevin
