Stock lift for the 360 cam was a .427in/.431ex. If your still using the non adjustable rockers keep lift .535 max. The stock 360 cam was also used in some 390 2v and 4v's thru the years. The stock 390GT/428CJ cam was .481in/.490ex.

The other thing you want to be certain your valve springs can handle the lift of the cam you choose. Or swap them to match....

I had the same setup with a 1976 2WD 360CI. I changed to a Comp cam (260H, I think) and it is fine. However the stock cam was great, I got decent mileage and power when I put headers, a Carter AFB carb, and 390 4bbl intake from a T-bird on it. I had a T18 tranny, 3.08 gearing, and even scored 19 mpg once.
