It was a very street friendly cam that tolerated everything from a 3.00 to 3.91 rear gear. It pulled down 18mpg hiway with the 3.00 gear, toploader and an 800DP. I had that engine in four different cars and it always did very well. The only time it was not happy was when I blew the C-6 in my 70 Torino GT to bits and had to put a stock low stall converter into it. Not. Happy. This was back in the day when I daily drove my musclecars from just after the last snow, to the first snow.Only "issue" I had was I accidentally used stock hydraulic lifters and they would pump up and kill the power at about 6k.IMO, I'd run the 3.70 or maybe even more with the AOD. With a .67 OD, your cruise is going to drop a lot, down into the 2000 rpm area, which I am not certain a 4V engine is going to like, especially if you go with the larger cam.</blockquote>
