Hi All, I would appreciate some help on this. 

Having my motor freshened up to add a little more oomph! Need a recommendation, or at least a confirmation of what I am thinking. Street use / cruising only. I want a LITTLE more lumpy "rumble at idle" sound, but not at the expense of driving in traffic and vacuum.

Currently:
1968 440 is bored 30 over (keeping)
Power brakes (required)
L2355f 030 six pack pistons (w/valve reliefs), 0.06 in the hole, 7cc dish total (keeping)
Stock 440 rods (keeping)
727 auto, TCI Breakaway converter (2400 stall?), 3:55 gear (keeping)
Exhaust will be TTI 1 7/8 headers (2.5"or 3" exhaust and Super Turbo mufflers - final yet to be determined)
800 cfm Edelbrock, dual plane Performer RPM intake
452 heads now, nothing special done
Continue to use pump gas

Looking at this:
- Lunati 268/276 Voodoo10200703
- E-street 75cc or 440Source 80cc
- Comp Cams Ultra Pro steel roller rockers, or keep current stamped steel depending on the cam

My current cam is SpeedPro CS1148R: Hydraulic camshaft 2000-5500 rpm range, adv. duration 289 intake/ 289 exhaust, duration @ .050 of 224 intake and 224 exhaust, Valve lift of .455 intake and .455 exhaust, Lobe C/L is 112

Do not want a roller cam.

Based on what I have, your thoughts on the current set-up and changing it to what I've shown? Thanks a lot!

Good plan I think. Not sure how 440source head quality is lately.

 :iagree:
All look like great choices to me .
  You can look at the PRW stainless rockers as an option
I would use AProfrom Carb , far more tunable

Have you checked out Hughes Engines in Illinois? They have Mopar specific (high rate of lift) cams, and can do your stock heads , or sell you aftermarket. They can make a good recommendation based on what you are doing with the engine.

Because you are keeping the pistons you will need a specific combustion chamber cc to get you desired compression ratio.

cam choice will effect compression you can run. But it sounds like you are looking for medium street performance, easy street-ability, easy tune-ability

I'm thinking 9.5:1 compression with pump 91 octane

So that will give you a specific head cc you must have. That will narrow your choices.

You want a Hydraulic cam. Don't really need roller rocker if lift under .525. Remember stamped steel rockers are 1.43 ratio. So if you use them, you pick a slightly bigger cam. Like a "High Lift" series becomes regular lift.
