318 cam selection,,opinion

That cam is real close to a stocker. I really like my Crane cam. Speced at 272/284 (@.050 216/228) .454 / .480 lift on a 112. The cam has a smooth idle. If more chop is desired, a Comp version on a 110 centerline will do well.
The power band is approx. 1500 - 5500, give or take a few 100 rpm.

I chose the Crane for the duration split and stock head use on my 318. Which also has Hooker headers, jegs dual exhaust, Edel LD4B and a 625 Carter on top. It's docile enuff that the idle really doesn't get notice much and is easy enuff for grandma to drive it without issue.

It gets up and goes well enuff. Un-tuned 1/4 run @ 15.14 @ 89 mph on the low comp. ratio '79 - 318. Easy 14's with a tune.

Give this one a shot or similar speced cam.
