- 1968 Coupe: 393w, TKO-600, Maier Racing springs, Global West suspension, Currie 9in with forged axles, 3.50 gears, Trutrac, Baer brakes front/rear
1973 Mach-1: 351c 4V, C-6, 3.73:1 gears and a long "To Do" list..
So, I filled out a camshaft request form from Comp Cams..(hydraulic roller) This will be for a 427w (dart block- 4" stroke/4.125" bore). The cam they recommended is 220/224 @ .050".? The cam they recommended for my 393w in my (daily driven) '68 is 232/240 @ .050". With an additional 34 cubic inches, I was just going to add 4' to my current cam (236/244 @ .050") and call it a day. Is this wrong?
The car is a (daily driver) '73 Mach-1 with 3.50 gears, TKO-600 5-speed and 275/40-17's in the back. The motor is a 427w 10:1 compression AFR-205 (maybe 220's), edelbrock Air gap intake and I'm thinking a 750-Holley. Am I in the right direction? Thanks..

I guess I need to clarify my question. If I like the " characteristics" of the cam in my 393w (totally streetable with a slight lope), would I get the same " characteristics" (RPM range and idle) by adding 4' to the existing cam for the larger motor?
