Harold, I've tried you several times @ your e-mail address and at work so maybe this will be the ticket to get help. I need to get the cam ordered to proceed with my buildup. graemlins/waving.gif I would greatly appreciate your help in selecting a cam for my drag car. I hope to run mid to low 10’s while limiting the RPM to 7500.

First the car info:
1967 Chevelle 3400# with driver
460C.I. BBC 4 bolt mains ARP fasteners throughout
Steel crank Chevy steel "dot" rods 7/16" bolts
Marlin cast iron heads with rectangular ports 320cc 2.300 intake & 1.880 exhaust Valves
lightly ported ( basically cleaned up )
Erson cast alum roller rockers 1.7:1 ratio, 3/8" push rods, Moroso stud girdle

The pistons are Manley .030 454 with stock length rods ( 6.135 ) and 4.000 stroke and the compression is 13:1 w/ 114 cc cylinder heads. Merlin heads are 119CC so actual compression will be more like 12.5:1 The dome volume is 49cc.


Eldenbrock Victor Single plan intake w/ a 1050 Dominator Carb
Lemons headers 2 1/8th inch
Will run a throttle stop to run super street 10.9 index ( once I get there !! )
turbo 400 trans w/ trans brake , TCI reverse pattern
Torque converter Custom by Mike Munsinger stall to be determined following cam selection I'm guessing 4500 to 5000
12 bolt rear diff. w/ spool and 4.56 gears coil spring w/ air bags Morrison control bars
10 x 29 slicks

With this information could you make a cam recommendation? Also could you suggest the install advance for the cam, suggested lifters and springs.
A stall speed for the converter to work with your selection would also be appreciated.
