Pick my cam?

Ok, relevent specs are as follows:

1964 Dart 170 2dr sedan 2800-3000lbs
Manual brakes
4spd overdrive
8.25" rear with 3.55fd SG
26" tall rear tires

360 .060 over (371ci)
H116CP SpeedPro pistons Hypereutectic
Measured cr of 9.8:1
Other wise stock bottom rotating assembly
Stock 587 heads with 1.88/1.60 valves
Stock HP 340 exhaust manifolds
Eddy LD340 intake manifold
carb-undecided (most likely 750cfm)

And all the above info is not speculation or wishing. It's actually what I've got on the stand to put in the car. So suggesting different pistons or aluminum heads won't change anything.

The intent for the car is a fun daily driver. I'm not expecting great mileage or an 11sec street car. However, I'd like it to be able to get mid teens mpg and maybe dip into the 12s.

So what do you guys suggest?

Ditch the manifolds,ld340 first off
Then depends how deep your pockets are and you are gonna need more gear like 3:91 or 4:10 and they cruise fine my low low 11 sec car cruises fine 70mph at 2700 rpms

So if pockets are deep get eddy heads, get them stage 2 ported and run a hyd flat tappet cam , the voodoo cams are good I went 11s with a Hughes big grind but don't run heir lifters they are garbage. Run any aluminum intake port match it . You need a good header also the only way to make power is more air in and more exhaust out

If money is tight get cam,springs from same as above and run a 4:10 gear

Good luck
And the real only way to know what cam is to flow headstand intake mani and get cam ground to those flow numbers then get a real converoter for the set up that's the proper way IMO
