410 stroker camshaft

hey folks. In the next couple of months I'll be pulling the new stroker to fix what I believe is an oil plug leak. While it's out, I wanted to upgrade the cam.
Right now engine is 410, 9.9:1 w/ .028 head gaskets.
Air gap intake - possible tunnel ram in future
Procomp heads, 2.02/1.60 - light port work
Crane 285 cam - 228/[email protected] .480 lift
1.5 rockers.
904 trans - manual valve body
Road runner 3800 converter - actually flashes around 4K.
8 3/4 - 3.91 gears (will be done at the same time).

Now this is not really a highway car, it's for cruise ins, stoplight jaunts and the occasional drag strip. what kind of cam have you had luck with? I also have some emails out to some custom cam makers, kinda exploring a bunch of possibilities.


How much P/V clearance do you have?
How much retainer to lock clearance do you have?
How much valve spring do you have, or can you get?
How tight are you going to twist it?

Verify compression ratio before ordering a cam.

You have enough gear and converter to use fair bit of cam if the compression is what you think it is, or a bit higher. I'm running 11.01:1 on pump gas with iron heads.
