What do you think about this 318 guys.

I like to keep under 6500-7k which is why i was thinking torque.. i will prolly end up making my 318 a 390 anyway so it's moot :)

I‘ll run some numbers in a bit on a 426 that will make peak TQ at say 5200 which should get you a shift point of 6500ish.

I think youll be surprised by the size of cam you’ll need.
