Hello, a while back i had started a swap some of you guys helped steer me in the right direction with. Noobs347 Dubbed it Milton so ive stuck with that. so basically i have a 351 block now mached up in the car and everything fits just fine, so im starting to assemble my engine. its a stock bore and stroke 351 but i bought a set of flat tops for it, i have a set of aluminum 190cc intake 62cc combustion chamber, 2.02 1.60 heads, a performer 351 windsor intake. using the stock bottom end short of the new pistons and rings and bearings. i basically want borderline street drag car out of this, im not worried low end power as much, it will also be bolted to a 5 speed. that being said im looking for reccomendations on a cam and maybe a rough hp/tq ballpark with said camshaft, i know you cant say exact hp as every build differs but maybe if anyone has experience with a similar head combo and what cam they ran and what they ended up with. any input appreciated, thank you!
 
I've been playing with the 351w for years, sounds like your going in the right direction. First, I suggest you ditch the performer intake and move up to the performer RPM or my favorite for street strip the Weiand Stealth intake. I still run my Stealth prototype intake I got from Doug Herbert. As for camshafts, that is the one major component that must be matched with your entire driveline. My preference is a solid roller, the throttle response and upper RPM power is on the money. Lift and duration I suggest calling either Comp Cams cam help or a company called Cam Motion , they can take your engine build, transmission and rear end gears and match the perfect camshaft for your combination.
