RE: HEre are more details and specs

I agree with Gerry! LOL! Sounds like the Compcams 268 High Energy would work good. Since you have a 4 speed, you could go slightly larger if you wanted a rougher idle or a little more top end power, like the Compcams 270 Magnum. From what you've said about the motor and car (mostly stock except for exhaust) , sounds like the 268 would be more of a sure bet.

Another choice would be the Crane 272 Energizer (# 134052) It has 272/272 degrees advertised, 216/216 degrees @ 0.050", 110 degree lobe separation and a 105 degree intake centerline. It has a little more lift than the Compcams at .524" (with 1.73 rockers).

I like the single pattern cams for your application since you have stock heads and intake, but also headers and good exhaust. No need for you to add extra exhaust duration to crutch stock manifolds and pipes.

On another note, if you have your heads out of the car for repairs, it'd be a great time for a little porting. Some pocket-porting and a little cleanup can really help flow with no downside other than the time and cost. Just a thought.

Good luck and let us know what you decide to do,

Paul
