Oh decisions decisions. I have a 68 GTX, it has a 69 low performance 440 out of New port. The engine has a bladder control issue and can’t keep oil in it. It’s either the pan or the rear main seal. I know these are things that can be done with the engine in the car, but that’s a pain in the ***, I might as well pull it and seal it. Since the engine will be out, I was thinking of pulling granny’s church going cam, and possibly putting a more muscle car cam in it, not a super muscle car cam, just a little more.
Now the big issues are money, power brakes, hp manifolds for now, and drivability. We all know the money game so let’s just skip that, and the money game is why I’m skipping headers too. I’ve been happy with the 350hp, it’ll do burnouts, and it makes noise, but it just doesn’t sound right, my 375hp muscle car, has grandpas 350 hp engine in it.
Now that I’ve explained the situation, I’ll get into the details, and maybe someone smarter then me will have something to say. I have 440 source heads, a performer 440 intake (not rpm, regular performer) and an edelbrock 800cfm avs2. The transmission is a Frankensteined 833 od gear set in an iron case, and I have a 3.55 gear 8 3/4. My car is mainly a cruiser, I love road trips, I love driving it. But like any muscle car owner, I like burnouts, and having fun. What’s a good budget friendly cam for me?
