Goin V-8

Robb, congrads on a V-8 upgrade. The l;ack of suggestions mostly comes from the lack of info. Lets start with whats really missing.

What rear end size do you have?
What ratio do you have or want to end up with?
Are you willing to swap out converters?

I can suggest a very braod suggestion on what cam to use. But as far as a true dual purpose cars intake and carb. I can honestly say I have to say the best deal combo I have found for myself is a Edel. RPM (Or equal) and a 650 cfm carb (Maker of your choice) like a Edel. AVS or Holley VS like the Avenger set up.

The rear ratio will help find a cam for this. It can be a mello cam to a lil'large one/big small one.
Let me give you an example of a pair of Comp cams that could fit the bill here;

A small performance cam like the 268 Hyd. (218 @ .050) w/.454 lift for better than stock cam specs and a nice upgrade or;

Something like a XE274. 274/286 (230/236 @ .050) w/.488-.491 lift will really help pick it up .

Theres a real decent spread here on the cams performance and how it acts in the engine between the 2 cams.
