camshaft choice

[mercurycapri]

Hi guys I just bought a 1982 black on black mustang gt with no motor. Im buying a used stock but good running 1981 302. Im wanting to toss the cam in favor of a camshaft that will increase my torque allot. I love torque and I want lots of it but I dont want a camshaft thats big and lopey I want to drive it daily. What camshaft do you recomend for loads of torque and great drivability? It is a 5 speed manual car. Thank you

Summit 448/472 cam...it's a towing cam

I think that is the same profiles as the Eddy performer cam and one of the FMS flat tappet cams.

For street and you want to be affordable with no guessing get E303 cam. Same as crane cam

1- an ecam won't work affordably in an 81 since it's not a roller ready block.

2- the ecam is not what I would call a high torque grind by any stretch.
