Help! I Don't Speak Cam!

I've never had to deal with anything like hopping up a V8. All my experience is with stock restorations. I've done a lot of searching on this site and come up empty. I see a lot of numbers associated with cam selection and simply don't know the language. I do know there are lots of options and manufacturers.

Is there another thread or other lead which explains the numbers and can help me select a hydraulic flat tappet cam for the following build on my '64 Dart conversion:

'66 273 w/ 10.5:1 pistons (bore unknown)
Eddy 600 cfm carb
Eddy SP2P intake
920 heads, ported
Stock manifolds
Single 2 3/4" exhaust

Thanks for your response. GR


What are you looking to do with the car? Street? Strip? cruise?

Go with 260° - 275° advrtised duration
Lift between .450" - .500"

Go with 2 1/4" dual exhaust 2.5" max...
