Hi thanks for asking. I'm doing a 6.0 for a 57 Chevy Belair, Plan is rebuild with flat tops, i plan to mill and port the stock 317 heads or get 243's, the car has a 383 with a Holley sniper so I'll get a carb intake and MSD box as I don't have a factory fuel injection, I'm going to run long tube headers car has 2.5 inch pipe exhaust with turbo mufflers, 700r4 trans. Just trying to decide on a cam car at 65mph turns around 2100-2200rpm. I'm kinda looking at tps 224r as well as the 220 cam. goal here is daily driver good gas mileage. Without me in it car tips the scale at 3540 pounds with me in it more like 3800. after I settle on a cam I'll get a converter. I'm open to suggestions let me know what ya"ll think.
