318 with 675/318 or 974/360 heads Cam Recommendations

That is a pretty good suggestion on the pistons. About $365 to get the compression up to maybe 9.2 to one with 68 CC heads. I don't know what thickness head gasket that they are talking about.

So the XE256 cam has some pretty good torque to it then? Any lope to it at all or is it dead smooth?
Thanks for your response back.

It has a very noticeable lope when cold. When it warms up it’s just enough to tell it has a Little cam in there. Mine is in a 360 with 318 heads. It’s a mismatch junkyard combo, but it runs great till 5k which is good enough for me at the moment until I get my trans rebuilt, throw in a 3k stall converter, and throw on the blended j heads. Then it’s going to want more cam.
