Cam choice for low comp 360?

I have been reading a lot, and doing a lot of searching on this forum. But I still am not able to fully grasp the science behind this So I thought it be best to ask. I followed 19 questions on Hughes website so I could provide you with the right info for helping me pick a cam.

Car - 1970 Plymouth Duster

Engine - 1973 LA 360 5.9 - Stock

Weight of vehicle, with driver - around 3110

What category does your use fit? - 99% street driven. I want a fun street car with lot's of torque

Altitude where vehicle will be run -
Latitude & Longitude for Stockholm, Sweden in decimal degrees: 59.4°, 18.1°.
Altitude/ elevation: 52 m (171 ft).

Present camshaft (duration @ .050", Lobe separation angle, lift etc...) - Don't know. Stock Valvetrain though.

Final gear ratio - I have 3.55 on now, I also have a 3.73 on the shelf

Stall speed of torque converter - 10" Turbo Action - advertised stall 3000

Tire height and width - 275/60-14

Fuel type - Pumpgas

Purpose of the Vehicle - 99% street driven. I want a fun street car with lot's of torque

Iron or aluminum heads - Stock Iron now. I'm gonna follow the "318 head porting for the average joe".

Compression Ratio - Have not measured, but advertised is 8.4:1. Stock pistons

Intake manifold - Dual Plane Edelbrock LD340

Header type and size - Cheap Longtube Hooker Headers

Carburetor size - Street Demon 650

Rocker arm type and ratio - Stock Hydralic / I also have a complete 273 Valvetrain with adjustable rockers and ball/cup pushrods

Will power adders be used? (N.O.S., turbo, supercharger etc...) - No

Cylinder head air flow numbers - Sorry I dont know


If possible I would like to use the stock rockers and pushrods. It would be nice if I did not have to do work on the heads, but milling is not out of the question. What I am after is a reliable street car with plenty of torque down low. The ones I have looked at is the XE262, XE268 and the Whiplash from Hughes. Sound if of no importance, I want a great respond and plenty of torque.

If you give advice, please include what I will need to get to be able to run your advice, springs etc. Thanks!
