cam choice
I have a 69 chevelle with a 87 5.7 maf computer and a hsr intake and headers. My current 5.7 block cracked looking to replace with iron head 383 with 72cc 1.94 heads around 9.8 comp WHAT cam would work best for a weekend warrior car and it is a a/c disc brake car.

Re: cam choice
What factory castings? Guess it dont matter they all were pretty crappy heads.
I guess you wouldnt want to go much over a comp xe268 or similar from howards/crane/lunati etc. they dont support much rpm as cast so this range of cam size would work good imo. 224 deg at .050 range. Roller or flat tappet, depending
Will need some computer tuning
