Thoughts on this combo
I like the specs this cam has but DCR might be an issue.

I have a standard gear set for the 999 if needed too. I just like the the wide ratio trans better.
As for economy I'd be happy with 10-12mpg for general driving. It's been about 15 years since I built a engine for myself. Choices sure has changed since then.
Maybe a 408 would be a better choice. I would like it to be as fast as my old 340 'Cuda was, faster if possible.
