Cam Info:

Okay Ive got to pull the 390 out of my 75, to add a Ranger Torque Splitter and rebuild my Np435 as well as clean/paint the engine. Id like something with a rougher idle, but w/o having to worry about changing rockers, springs, etc etc etc. Idea's?


Its a 390 with a .030 overbore
cast iron heads w/ a decent port/polish job
Hedman Long Tube Headers
Edelbrock Dual Plane intake,
770 CFM carb


Ive got a mallory distributor here but need to get the vac advance adjusted closer to the stock dist. the new one takes 7 in hg of vac. vs the oe of 1.5 to 2 in hg ...

thanks for the input!!

How much compression are you running? Too big of cam with low compression will turn the motor into a dog.
