People scoff at it all the time, but the Edelbrock Performer camshaft is perfect for an upgrade for a stick engine. And the good part is, Melling, Elgin, Sealed Power all make the same camshaft, so you can find it cheap. It's the one that's like 420/441 204 and 214 @ .050 It's a really great old school grind and works well in a stone stock engine, regardless of what the scoffers say. Likewise, the Edelbrock Performer 600 AFB carburetor and the Edelbrock Performer intake will really compliment the camshaft. Just food for thought.
