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
68 Satellite, 383 with stock 906’s, 3550lbs, 11.18@123
Dealer for Comp Cams/Indy Heads

If your headers are angle plug friendly, and it’s in the budget..... the 75cc E Streets make a lot of sense.
Crower 271HDP cam
11” converter
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. An electric vacuum pump solves your power brake issue. Kevin

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.

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