"I´m using a factory 744 cam in my 462 w/96 heads, TH400 and 3.55.
It´s mellow as a kitten.
If i´d built it today i would have chosen the 041 cam with/regular lifters"
+2 for that cam choice plus I would deck and square the block, mill the heads a good bit, and establish tight quench and get the static compression ratio up towards 10 to 1 vs down around 9 to 1.
You will be nicely rewarded with close to 1hp/CID, plenty of vacuum at idle speed for power brakes, and a very good running engine that will be fine on pump fuel.......
