What rpm do you want your power band in? What gears do you have in the rear? Is this an auto car or a stick? What intake?

3.27 gears? Are you planning to have a poweradder? Any good cam that revs to 6500 will be an absolute dog with 3.27's
I would also be concerned that I would burn up the c4 with that kind of stall and 3.27's

I'd go with at least a 3.73 gear.
The cam will at least need to be 230ยบ duration (maybe more) to honestly pull to 6500. |

Your engine and heads are perfect for what you want. For an EFI intake, I would go Holley systemax or a breadbox upper/GT40 lower. For carb'd intake, I would run a Vic Jr. (or equivalent) with no port work other than match to heads. For a cam, I would get a custom grind piece. I recommend Ed Curtis for that, but he's behind right now after getting over 20-inches of snow... I'm waiting for a cam/lifters from him for a Caddy CTS-V.
Some of the shelf cams would work as well from Comp; you'd just have to check their catalog. If you have access to a Ford Racing X-303 cam, that would probably work too...and they're usually cheap. |

Swammi I have a already put together 8.8 with 3.73 gears in it I would make you a deal on. Its 4 lug with c-clip eliminators and southside lowers on it.

Also look at the cams that Anderson Ford offers. I think something of the N-61 nature or a little larger would work well.

Whatever the case, you need to check Piston-to-Valve clearance with everything mocked up before running. |
