Joepapa had the crower #60211 in his '69 bird with the 406 & 4spd,and that ran pretty well,but he had more gear and compression than this 455 has.

I'd expect the weight for a '67 bird to be around 3600 lbs. or so give or take just a bit.

My "off the shelf" cam suggestion was on the conservative side no doubt at this point,mostly due to the 4spd and 3.55 gears,and the somewhat moderate compression ratio.

Now that the goal of 11's (or better) is known,,,I might make a different set of recommendations...

I really pondered this comment:

I have a few reservations.

One typically does'nt get a bunch more power from a cam without losing some degree of idle quality and driveabillity.

Honestly I dont think any cam mentioned in this thread so far will run solidly into the 11's with this sorta combo.

It's gonna take more cam,and I'd like to see more gear too.

I'd look into something like the FT hydraulic Crower #60244 now with that set of criteria.

Or a HR cam in the mid 230's intake,mid 240's exhaust @ .050".

Or possibly a FT solid like the crower #60311.

HTH.
