I do want to build my new 440 engine with lots of torque down low and that instant response from low rpm idle.
I also want good vacuum (At least 15hg) and a smooth idle.
Cam selection is still a mystery to me so my question is:
- How far from a stock 440 cam can i go and still have the things I wrote above?
Engine specs:
440 block bored .030
Stock stroke crank
Eddy performer intake or CH4B
Single carb (Possibly a Thermoquad.)
~10:1 comp (depends on head)
3:23 gear on Auto car
Stock converter
28" rear tires.
Got no cylinder heads yet. (And the planned Trickflow purchase seems to be overkill for my combo.)
