Cam advice or input

Hello all I'm building a 68 383 to use in my 68 barracuda so far it's a 40 over 68 383 block Edelbrock RPM 75cc heads with Keith Black pistons, Edelbrock TM6 intake, plan to use headers but I haven't purchased any yet I have a new Mopar 484 cam and lifter set I was going to use but I may just save that and buy another for this engine, maybe something from Hughes? Will be running manual disc brakes on the front and a 4-speed, haven't settled on rearend gearing just yet but I do plan to drive this car a lot, any cam recommendations would be appreciated

If you are going to drive the car a lot then keep the cam small. If you don't have a lot of experience picking cams then keep the cam small. Too big of a cam in a street engine is just a pain while a cam that is a little smaller than perfect works just fine. For a street car don't worry about peak power, just go with something that is slightly larger than the factory used. That way you'll have a little bit of rumble at idle but it will still drive just fine and get decent mileage.
