Cam Size for 440

[Pana.Mopar]

Hi All, Quick question in regards to cam size?

I'm looking at building a budget 440 bottom end and using my ported 516 heads. Standard pistons at zero deck.

Would this cam be a good street/bracket cam?

Howards Cams - Solid - #722402-10
Duration at 0.50 = 246 / 252
Lift = .515 / .530
Lobe Sep - 110
Intake Centreline = 106

I was looking at this same cam when I finally build my flat top 383/915 heads...still haven't completely ruled it out, but if you use it I wanna know how it turns out.

does your pistons have valve reliefs?

Bob beat me to it...
Which pistons? Stock pistons are not at zero deck and you'd be fine. Six Pac pistons can be made to zero deck but don't have much for valve reliefs and you might have a problem.
