Thank you for the input. I'm considering going with a smaller cam, like the Comp Cams XE-250/260, XE-252/252, or XE-260/260. I'd probably just buy the whole kit, springs, lifters, chain and all if I don't go with remanufactured heads. Also, just realized pistons are first cheap for these. The...

I know this is venturing into a different topic, but seeing as head choice is important for choosing a cam, I think it's relevant. Is the #2843675 casting a higher compression head? It's from the pre-smog 318 la's. It lack the heart chamber and swirl ports, but I have read where successful...

I had some questions about cams and this thread seemed like a good place to post instead of making a new one. I'm new to mopars and old cars in general. I'm used to DOHC motors where replacing heads and cams are almost never done due the cost and complexity, so I know next to nothing about cams...
