Might even use Rhoads lifters if you can stand the noise as you typically let the clutch out under 3000 rpms they will help build more torque when you need it,
Allow you to push the cam a notch or the rear gear.
My experience a 3.750 stroke wont like much cam with a 4-speed and 3.08 everything will be great except take off ... 3.55 - 3.31 area is about where I would go which is what GM did

Wish I could of put Rhoads in my 360 build but I used a low miles lunati 30706 cam mated up to a 3.73 gear

I have thought about Rhoads lifters and have not ruled them out.
I have also thought about advancing the cam timing. It was installed straight up by the timing marks and I do not recall the ICL. I have read that Jim Hand has had this cam at 104 ICL and Rocky Rotella has had it at 108 ICL.

What about simply swapping to an overdrive transmission such as the Magnum or the higher gear overdrive (lower numerical)? Wouldn’t that solve a lot of issues and provide you with the Cruise ability you want? Won’t have to change out that rear gear. Would maybe be just a cam swap and trans swap. Just a thought.
