Hi all.
I'm in the process of trying to get my 75 Nova a little more streetable and would like to replace the cam and convertor.
I have SBC 400, 30 over with 5.7 rods. Flat top pistons calculated compression 11.1.
Dart 64cc (very first version) iron heads, 2.02,1.60 valves. They have been worked over and milled.
Bowtie Vic Jr manifold, Holly 750DP.
4:56, 28" tire, TH350.
Manual brakes.
I do not have a good convertor so I want to match a new one with the cam. I wouldn't mind going back to my 3:70 gears, but not sure if that is possible without changing my heads, manifold, carb.
My current cam is a solid roller and I would like to go with another so I could get away with not replacing the lifters. I have been looking at Lunati VooDoo cams that pull to 6500-6800 but I'm afraid they may be too small for a 400.
I know this sounds like I am all over the place with what I want. It is not a daily driver, but I wouldn't mind driving it 30 miles at a time. Hopefully I gave enough info.
Thanks for any help.
