Anything around a 224 with around 570-80 lift should be fine. Muscle car idle? Easy.. get it on a 112LSA.

daily driver for sure . . also what about a converter . keep it stock or change it . any thought are great .the motor is out of the car now and i could do a cam change easily right now . along with a converter .
this is a street car . not drag . i want it to run good but i am not focused on straight line performance . street drivabilty means alot to my customer .
i was definately thinking of a 112LSA
