Advice needed, 360 build. All I need now is a camshaft.

Car: 73 Duster with 23 spline 4 speed, 3.23 8.34 rear, slant 6 torsion bars.

Motor: 75 dodge 360 4.04 bore, standard stroke, re-manufactured factory rods and crankshaft. Edelbrock dual plane intake & 600 cfm carb. Big valve j-heads with deck resurfaced, new valves, springs, solid bronze valve guides, ect... No port work. I let my machinist pick out the piston, he went with Icon forged dish. I don't have all the specs on piston or the cc's of the heads but he said it calculates to 9.9:1 compression.

I would love advise on the camshaft! This is my first motor building experience of my own, and I would love for it to pay off.

Thanks for your time!

cams have to have matching springs. so if those are stock springs you may need to change them if you put in a big cam.

are you leaning toward hydraulic flat lifters (6k rpm max or so) solid flat lifters (can go higher rpms depending or the rest of the build) or some sort of roller lifters (for very high lift, requires extra machine work for clearances)?

if you are going solid i'd recommend a MP purple cam maybe .528 lift or so, or .557 for hydraulic probably the same. .590 lift etc really need more of the compression ratio/race gas to be effective.

with a 3.23:1 rear axle ratio it will not be a real fast take off and will be hard on the ujoints during hard launches. but since it's manual shift you dont have to be as worried about cam choice. if you have power brakes you might want to go with something that has a good manifold vacuum at moderate rpm's (not the .557)
