what are you hopeing the cam will do for you? a higher stall will give you more et than a cam. i would go for a stall first unless you need to tow over 5000lbs often.

i ran a 234/232 600 lift 114 sep cam with a mild stall and it was still a dog till 4200rpm. it picked up great power up top but waiting for it to hit in 1st gear took forever.

i am not really looking for a strip car. i am trying for an all around car. i am going for the restomod style. i want it to be strong but i dont like the mushy pedal of a high stall. i am just trying to get an idea of people that did cam swaps and kept their stock verter and how that vehicle did.

I think you said it best (it was still a dog till 4200rpm) for myself I don't want a pooch that needs to turn mad R's to get going. Personally I'm looking for a small stick b/c I want torque from 2000-5000 to move all that weight and some more weight that I plan to pull on occasion. For the 70 6.0 I think that a lot depends on the cars use. If it is to go fast in a strait line then yea stall it out and run a big stick but if even 70% of it's use is to be driven on the street I would totally understand a mild cam with a stock stall that would be so much more fun to drive around town than an obnoxious, sloppy, and loose.

The question is what size cam can be run with a stock converter and with said size cam what modifications were performed.

yea 317s for now once i get the car running and on the road i plan on cam and possibly some mildly ported 243s. I just want to leave the motor alone to make sure all my wiring is correct i just rewired the whole intire car plus added the aftermaket ls wiring harness

I'm thinking you should be good but I'm not sure either. I love the fact that the cam you are looking at doesn't have a silly lift that will do nothing but wear out valve springs on a street engine.

Sounds like fun, maybe some AFR's instead of 243's?
