Ok, I am building a 401 for my cherokee. I have all the machiene work done and I am down to picking a cam for it. I am wanting this engine to have as mutch low end torque as I can get, I want it to have great low end power and a good mid range too. This engine will probably never see above 3k rpm. So I want most my power to be either below or around that rpm. That is what I am looking to get out of this engine, now I will list its specs so far.
Bore: 40 over
Heads: stock, with stock rebuild/valve job
Pistons: stock type replacement (stock compression) weight matched
Rings: moly
Crank: 10 under, polished, and balanced with my flywheel and balancer
Rods: stock with them weight matched and whatever else they would have doen to them to go along with the complete balance job.
I am also gonna get all new pushrods, rocker arms and piviots/bridges, cause the old ones look like crap and are mis-matched. Gonna get a new timing cover, I replaced the alighnment pins with new ones that are 1in long. I'm gonna use a rollmaster timing set. The intake will be a holley street dominator (it is currently on my 360) carb is gonna be a holley truck avenger 670cfm. Probably will get one of your guys matched cam/dizzy gear sets. Everything is done and is waiting to be put together, I just need to get the last remaing parts to finish it (cam/lifters, pushrods,rocker arms/piviots, timing cover timing set, etc...)
The general masses seem to be pointing me to the comp cams 260H. Would this be the best choice for my engine and what I am wanting out of it? Thanks for any help/advice you can give me.
