354 Hemi modifications

[HemiDeuce]

I have a 354 Hemi and am installing a Hot Heads 4 Bbl. Manifold and 600 cfm carb. Does anyone have any suggestions on how much cam to use for a nice driver in a 1932 Ford Roadster with a 4 speed.

Moe here. Well lets see. How much traction do you have? Not much I bet. So if its not a daily driver, keep adv. dur. under 280 Deg. If its a daily driver no more than 264 Deg. Also check the valve retainer clearence to guide at full lift. Cause ANY time you put in a can that is more than stock it needs checked. You dont want the valve retainer hitting the valve guide.
