That's certainly an option Garrett an early 318 grind works from well like from say Elgin however the small Lunati would be a lot better or one of the customs I mentioned
however "all about the same price " not so - some are really pricey starting with Hughes which is what he was considering in Post one
and I showed where he could have the larger cam performance with the smaller cams low end for the price of a Hughes
(not that either are correct)
OP using stock magnum rockers 1.7 works on the intake but you have to correct the geometry - with his cam size he can do it with the lobe- much easier
Treblig exhaust manifolds- what exactly are these?
good bottom end and lopey idle are mutually exclusive - tune your exhaust for sound
what's the best estimate of compression
273 thinking it over can make a 25 ft lb change on the low end
he can even boost stall speed torque- which is going to be low
It appears that he does not have a cam and has to buy something
