Which 440 Cam??
I know asking which Cam to go with is a lot like asking which girl is prettiest.. But..
I am rebuilding a 440 for the first time. I have built several small blocks over the years but this is my first Big Block. Looking for opinions on which Camshaft to go with??
Car
Street/Strip 1971 Duster
727 Trans with Reverse pattern manual Valve Body
3200 RPM Stall Converter
Large diameter Fenderwell headers going into 4" exhaust
8 3/4 rear with 3:91 suregrip
Engine
.30 over 440 with stock steel crank
Flattop Pistons
915 Heads with mild porting and gasket matching
Should be just over 10.5 to 1 compression
Edelbrock Single plane Intake Intake and Proform 850 Carb
Soon as I get the motor rebuilt, I will be selling this car as I already bought another that was an old family race car that I want to get back on the road. I do not want to cheap out just because I will be selling it. I take pride in all the cars I build but I don't want to have to get into a lot of extra costs that I can't recover either.
I know exactly what Cam I would use if this was a small block but do not have enough knowledge of Big Blocks to pick the best choice. It needs to be a nice cruiser for local car shows but also need to perform well at the Track.
Which CAM would you go with for this build?
Attached is the Motor before I pulled it to rebuild.
