Default Looking for a cam recommendation mostly stock 73 455 w/ 4 speed

Hey folks,

I'm looking for a cam recommendation for my 1973 455 rebuild. The engine is numbers matching to my 1 973 Brewster Green TA I'm restoring with the original four speed.

The engine is at the machine shop now and will have to be bored .030. Other than resurfacing the heads and decking block the engine will be stock. So around 9:1 CR most likely.

I was considering a HR for reliability sake but after a lot of research I've deemed it unnecessary to spend an extra $2,000 on one. Mostly because I want to keep the car as close to factory as possible and I think a good HFT broken in properly will be fine.

Cam choices are all over the place so I need some help!

My car came with the 067 cam and I'd like a little more. But streetability and reliability are most important!

I'm looking at the Summit 2802 or 068. From my research summit cores are made by CMC in Michigan. But if anyone has a more reliable brand to recommend let me know!

Thanks!
