Location: Oxnard/Ventura, California | Hey guys, can anybody offer me a little insight? This is the cam im thinking about running in the 440:
P4286675 260/260 221/221 34 113 .430/.430 1000-5300 Mild comp. & performance RV
Its going to be largely stock, automatic, 650 AFB with stock exhaust manifolds. I want a torquey cam and a semi-lumpy idle. I don't want 0-60 sceaming quarter miles, just plenty of power to move the dodge with authority. |

When I put my GC 350 together, Crane recommended their "econopower" cam, don't remember the specs, but it works and sounds great. This was after much anquish over a friend recommended cam that would stall every time I put the car in drive.

Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado | If you want lope then your going to need more cam then that, its pretty much a stock 440 cam.. If you want low end torque its a good way to go! You might look at the MP .474 lift/ 272 duration cam though, this will give you the lope you want. With the 440 being as large as it is the cam will act much milder then it would in a smaller motor. Youll need a 750cfm carb for that cam, you should consider a 750 anyways, the 440 moves a LOT of air, IIRC the factory carb is a 680cfm. Keep your eyes open for a set of C-body Magnum exaust manifolds too! they are way way better then the stock logs. The drivers side manifold is the only one that different, it has a set of fins on it for carb heat and a different dump then the b-body magnums. Good luck!
