I dropped of the heads at the machine shop today (#5 350 heads) and am having them fixed up for my 403. I will be adding the Edelbrock Performer intake, a new distributer, and cam. I already have headers.
This is my first engine extravaganza so I want to make sure I make the right choices here. I am not too sure what cam to go with. The car is only driven on nice days when I can take the t-tops out and cruise around, so it's not going to be a racing machine. The machine shop today recommended a comp cam 218/224 at .050 inch lift. From my research I had thought that I should go with something a little more mild. Something between 206 and 218 or so. I don't have the experience with this to know what I should go with. I will be installing the cam myself and don't necessarily want to have to degree the cam, so I would like to keep things pretty strait forward. I also don't want to have to change anything else (stall converter for example). Some of you with experience in this area, I could use a helping hand. What do I use. Need to know pretty soon to let the machinist know. Thanks for the help.
