Thumbs up

Actually a real good cam for ya would be the ISKY MEGACAM .465/465 270-270 108 lsa I know a guy with one in his 360 and it works real good..Also has a nice raunchy idle due to the tight lobes, in a small block if you like the lopey sound(who doesnt? )The design is old but works well...It has tight lobes and relatively small duration which helps it on the bottom,the lift isnt to big either so it works well with unported heads..Id suggest headers though since its a single pattern cam.Also heavyduty springs,and the 9.5:1 will be PERFECT Should really HAUL ASS!
Ive also installed one in a friends 400 I`m running one in my 440(changin to 484)And have been happy in both cases here!

68 Valiant, i think you are giving up on the 284 cam too quickly. i ran one in my 69 Valiant 360/904 and 3.23 gears and loved it. i even used a stock slant 6 conv. i drove this car daily. it ran 8.10 1/8mi. w/1.72 60 ft. times.

www.iskycams.com that should work. Don't think they are very good w/ PR(public relations) because I asked them for two cam reccomendations in November and still haven't got a reply! I am going to go w/ an engle or hughes now anyway, so their reccomendation don't matter
