Solid flat tappet cam

Bingo thats what im talking about. I also wonder if I will have too much lift.. Since i see guys running alot smaller cams on the street

What do you mean? Do you have a cam chosen already? Building a throwback car like that......you know when they were popular, they went big with everything. That's kinda why they worked well. Lotsa carburetor, lotsa cam, lotsa compression, lotsa loose converter, lotsa gear. All that lotsa works good as a combination. Bigger is better IS always better if you do it everywhere and not just one or two areas. It will probably be pretty cool.
