Camshaft suggestions
Im running almost the exact combo as you. You will get recommendations all over the map. Cam selection is never a one size fits all solution. I choose to run a smaller xe256hcomp simply because I had the smaller 318 heads, 1.78 valves, and the original 2.93 gears and stock converter. It ran good for what it was. now I’m rebuilding the transmission w/TF2 shift kit, put a 8.8 in with 3.27 gears, and have 915j heads I’m wanting to put on. I also have a 3k stall which in theory is to much probably for my 256 cam, it will want more cam for sure. I might try a lunati 02-03 or something comparable like wyrmrider suggested. If you think you will be building for more performance down the road put a slightly bigger cam in and just now there’s power being left on the table to you build the car with parts that compliment each other. I would still call a few cam manufactures and hear what they have to say. You will hear probably the same thing you heard here. But it will help solidify you decision making process.
