I am working rebuilding my stock 318 out of my 70 swinger running a 904 with a 8.75 with 3:55 gears. I am currently working on porting a set of 302 casting heads to 360 port sizes, and working on all the rough casting areas. I am planning on ordering a set of 1.88 intakes and 1.60 exhaust valves this week. I also plan on running the KB 167 pistons and a edelbrock airgap intake on this build.
What i would like to do is order valve springs so i can just have the heads assembled when i take them in to have the valve job done. I really dont have any experience using aftermarket cams/springs but i figured it is probley best to buy a cam kit with the springs/lifters/cam and timing chain that match from the manufacture. That is why i am looking for a cam at this moment.
I am kinda thinking about running the Comp Xtreme Energy 268 cam that was used in the hot rod mag build. Is this cam going to be a decent street cam or should i be looking into something else?? Any suggestions?? This is my first performance build, i have rebuilt engines before but pretty much only back to stock form or very mild upgrades.
Thanks
