: actually you'd probably better off with a preformer cam, RPM cam is to big for a daily driver. Very bogy from idle, city driving will be no fun. Go with the preformer, trust me, in cams bigger is not always better, especially on the street.
Looks like this is going to be a pretty straight forward rebuild but I will know more when I open her up and see what the wear and tear looks like.
: Anyway I know that you guys have tinkered with the 302 so give me some advice on what I should get. Here is the goal a respectable street car that sounds quick but doesn't idle too rough. I will be running a stock 2 barrel carb because of the budget but electronic ignition may be a possibility.
: Houston driving requires a car that has some get up but must be able to cruise at 70 all day long.
