Cam advice for ill advised 318 combo?

Yep. I was t going to answer the question posed to Moper but that is about it. I assume you all ready have the pushrods so that would be reused again and save you some bucks. The mechanical pushrods are a different length the the Hyd units.

The cam will also cover a wide rpm and perform well in a stock engine as a excellent upgrade. A wide verity of gear ratios will work fine as well. A stock converter should be acceptable with it as well. Considering the listed parts in your first post, I think this is a good cam to use with those parts and the yet unknown gear ratio or weather or not your willing to change torque converters out.

Yes I am willing to consider changing converters.
My axle is a 3.23 w/235/65/15's
Sounds like the 270S is my cam.
Only other thing I can think to ask is weather the headers will affect the choke operation of the Thermoquad as the heat riser valve will be gone?

Thanks again
