I have a bone stock rebuilt 360 engine (out of a 1985 Dodge Van) that I installed a dual plane Edelbrock aluminum manifold and 4 bbl. carb on and I am putting in a 1972 Dart Swinger and I want to change the camshaft to give the engine a nice "lope" when I drive it to car shows. I am not concerned with performance or horsepower as this car will never see a race track. I just want a healthy lope without having to use a vacuum canister for the power brakes or having to change the rocker arms, push rods or lifters. Any suggestions as to lift/duration would be appreciated.

Since idle sound is your desire I would look at an isky 270 megacam,it will still perform good but being ground on a 108 lobe seperation it will have a bad *** sounding lope at idle while the duration isnt way out there for street manners.I think paw has a grind similar for around 60 bucks in their ssi? grinds.You could also jump down to their 264 and still have a noticeable lope if you really want good manners-the key being the tight lobe seperation.

I would be more concerned about the performance of the motor vs the sound,but that is just me.
For the motor,intake,internal's you described I would have to agree with Adam.Comp XE268.
I'm sure you will be very happy with the sound,and very happy with the performance of this cam..
