360 cam selection
hey guys sorry to ask the same ol question which I'm sure has been asked 100 times but here ya go! I have a 71 Demon with a slant 6 that is dyeing a slow death. I just picked up a complete 360 for almost nothing (trade). The bottom end consists of .030 speed pro 405p dished pistons. the heads are stock 596's that have been gasket matched and a-little clean up work. topped with an RPM dual plane intake and 650 eddy carb. Full length headers with stock converter with a 904. REar is an 8 1/4 with 3.23's The cam is unknown but appears to be stock in the .420 range from the dial indicator. I would assume with the pistons down in the hole and dished pistons and stock heads 8:1 compression would be alot. I would not be opposed to cut the heads to get the cc's on the heads down. I want a cam that sounds better then it performs. I know with this combo I'm not going to get both worlds but the car isnt going to raced just cruised around. What are your thoughts?? how about the small thumr cam? THANKS!!!
