66 273 Cam and Intake Thoughts

Its real tuff to make a lot of horsepower on a low comp motor. I had a 67 273 that I angle milled the heads on to raise the comp. ratio. I also had a hughes cam he0914al grind that worked very well. It has 470I\458E lift and 209\214 at .050. It had a stock idle and good vacuum. You dont want a cam with lots of lope on a small low comp. motor. I sold my 273 short block and am parting out the rest of the valve train. I still have the cam lifters and rocker arms if you are interested.
