what do I need

[n8ling]

Hey mopar guys, it's me here again to ask some questions about cams.
I've been working on this 360 for my swinger and so far so good. The block has been completly torn down, .020 over new oilers rings seals bearings everything is to spec on the bottom end. The heads have been cleaned lapped measured springs valves grommets etc, now i just need some power plant goodies. I'm planning on a new intake, headers 4 bbl carb 650-700 cfm ignition system, and cam.The car will have functioning twin scoops.
I'll be running a 727 TF, 8.25 rear-end with 3.90 gears and posi/locker, and the rear tires are 255's.
I would like the car to be streetable yet a little bit economical on the other hand I've always said I need to build a 5 liter eater.
Questions..........cam size. I was hoping somewhere around 220 @ 50 with a good offset for scavaging, any idea's come to mind?
Another question would be torqe convertor stall, no stall??? or maybe just a shift kit? If any of you guys have been here, your help would be much appreciated THANKS

What's the advertised compression ratio of you pistons? How far down from the deck surface are they in the hole? Do you know the final cc of your combustion chambers in your heads? The more info you can supply the more informed the response. There's some very well versed people here but they need all the info you can supply to give you an accurate and informed response.

What heads and vlave size, final comp. ratio? I Assume headers.
A conservitive cam that can deliver the power goods would be a split duration cam like the one in my thread. Examples listed below;

The one I picked up is a Crane advertised @;
272-284 @ .050 216/228, .454-.480 lift on a 112
Comps EX262H advertised @ 262/270-218/224 @ .050 w/.462/.4470 lift on a 110
No stall converter needed.

These will do well with stock heads and small valves. Give them decent compression, headers and a 4bbl like you listed above. Ported heads need only be ported in the bowl for these cams. Port matching a plus. Exhaust size @ 2-1/2 tube.

The next size up, like in the Comp line up is the XE268H. 224/230-.477/.480, is a proven power maker. This more in line of what I would have recomended if the word economical didn't enter the post.

Trannys love to shift quick. There happier that way. So yes, A shift kit is a bennifit. Add a deep pan and a cooler after the factory rad. cooler.
