Imho, I'd install a good old Isky Z-30 or a modern solid lifter cam like it and go!

You have the weight, compression, heads, regs and just about everything else except I would use a good old tuned 3310-2 750 cfm carb. instead of the 600 b/c she will like to breath GOOD up top!

As always, jmho.

It's an early Torquer not a later Torquer-2, right?

If it's a TT, again, imho, go w/ either a 300-36 Holley or a Victor Jr. As always, depending.....

650 dbl pumper would work great, with 70-76 jets.345ts a/c delco or something that will cross over.

I bet a stock jetted 3310-2 out of the box will do nicely b/c it was basically stock on the old 375hp/396's so it will go good by me.

Neil, street or drag race?

This one covers both, but its BIG for a 327 : http://www.lunatipower.com/Product.aspx?id=1957&gid=280

Or the next size smaller https://www.lunatipower.com/Product.aspx?id=2324&gid=297

Or the Comp XE268. 262 would work, but I'd like to see you over 220 degrees on the intake side @.050

I pretty much agree with the same range that everyone else is recommending. If it were my engine, I would go with the following (as Gene suggested).

219/227 @.050, 262/268 advertised .468 .489 lift
http://www.lunatipower.com/Product.aspx?id=1983&gid=287

The only issue I see is running on pump gas. With 11:1 and a cam like the ones being recommended with stock iron heads, I highly doubt it will run on premium.

Again, please reconsider the old Z-30 Isky solid lifter cam b/c I'm here to say, it will scare you up top at 11 to 1 in a 327! It's actually like a close centered 30-30 stock fuelie cam!!

Been there, know all about this and also go w/ a 750 Holley on their old 300-36 up to above 7,200 rpm EASY w/ good valve springs!!
