Gathering parts for my fathers "last hot rod" 55 Bel air 210 Post. Street car and he may go down the track a couple times a year for fun. Specs as follws:

406" small block
Stock crank
Stock rods with ARP hardware
9.7:1 compression ratio
Stock 400 76cc heads, 2.02/ 1.60 SS valves unshrouded mild port work
Edelbrock perf RPM intake
Q J carb
1 5/8 Hooker headerer into 2 1/2" duals
4 speed trans but unidentified as of yet so no ratio's avalable
3.31 rear gears
Dont know weight of the car but I think safe to assume about 3800 lb w driver


Need cam suggestions and want to use hydraulic flat tappet as I dont beleive Father want to mess with lashing.

My pick was as follows: ADV duration 282/292; 224/234@ .050"; .465/.488;
114 LSA

I am far from expert and definately would appretiate recomendations

that cam sounds nice, or the voodoo 60103 will be a nice street ride also.

I would go one step further with the 60104, due to having more cubes with the 406.

Advertised Duration IN/EX: 276/284
Duration @ .050 IN/EX: 233/241
Gross Valve Lift IN/EX: .504"/.525"
LSA / ICL: 110/106
Valve Lash IN/EX: Hyd/Hyd
RPM Range: 2200-6400

I like the Comp Cams 292H Magnum. 501/501 244 @ 050.

I like the Comp 280HR - 224°/224° .525" lift
Good idle and tremendous torque, great for a heavy car.

I wouldn't go bigger than mid 230's@.050 with your rear gear.

4,000 pounds probally

I would look at 230ish @.050
