hello

Another big welcome to the forum Casey. I read your other posts before realizing you had already introduced yourself. You were wondering about a cam with 252 @ .050. If that is the one with the 106 CL that will be a hell of a cam on the street. It will be a little soft down low but that thing should bust out about 3000 rpm and rip your head off until you run out of guts, LOL. You have the bottom end and just enough compression to work with it. The 650 carb will be a stumbling block though. It will help down low where the cam is softer but you're going to run out of carb around 6500 rpm. The 650 may be a tuning nightmare down low too. Will probably give you fits trying to get it nice and crisp under 3000. I say this only because there is limited tuning and parts for those carbs unless you really know them. But as a starter you should be OK. You certainly do have the gears too. I had a friend that had one of the first '69 Boss 429 Mustangs. He ran a 4:88 gear set and everytime I heard him coming down the side street, even just shifting normally, the shifts had to come so early/fast that it sounded like he was going thru the gears at the drag strip. I can still hear it and loved it. Your 327 is going to love those gears. I know well that a T-56 is an expensive trans to use but your car would be awsome with one. With the double overdrive you could actually enjoy the car on a highway. The first gear in the T-56 is also a 2.66. Just like the Mopar trans you are using. So the gear spreads are probably very similar. So if the Mopar trans works out for you the T-56 would be almost the same yet with a double OD. It's been so long for me to talk small displacement and Chevys that I can't even suggest cams now. They have changed so much over the years. Cam designe has made solid flat tappets as good as the early rollers so I would really research the Chevy boards and see what these guys are running in 327's etc. Your heads should support a lot of flow too. You're on your way to a really good combination there. Should sound fantastic and go like a raped Ape. If you've ever see a Raped Ape, everyone better just get out of the way. LOL. Glad you joined in and keep us updated. Start a build/project thread so we can live your dream alongside you. MArk L
