hey if you have the engine builders guide, that mopar muscle put out 2 years ago they used that cam in a 440... Did very well! Check it out, im sure someone you know has to have it! it was a pretty hot item. The article was in a mopar mag. earlier just dont know which one. I think its called 440 resto to rad??

I have run that cam in a streeter 383  with cast iron heads and liked it.  But also used the complete kit with matching valve springs. Just don't forget to use thread locker on the cam bolt and torque to spec.  With higher flowing heads, I would at least open the valve higher to extract more potential from the heads.  Good Luck,  Steve

you can use your edelbrock lifters  and I will assume the springs are the ones supplied with the 440 source heads ...

[1971scamp383]

yeah i have from 440 source but i have also edelbrocks one...to match the 7194 camshaft!!!which one are better???

[bOb shingler]

just use the one you have and degree it in at a centerline of 106

I like that cam, I bet it would be good for about 400hp easy, and it should have great street manners.
