I would highly recommend a roller cam!!  Find the Feb/Mar edition of MoPar
Enthusiast mag good article on just this subject.  If you cant find it I

Subject: 360LA
 
 
After throwing quite a few pension dollars at it, with disappointing results
 I have given up on my 273 for the '65 Dart bracket car. Picked up a 1979
low mile truck LA 360. The pistons are .088 down but after milling, the
heads spec 52cc. Using the Comp Cams camquest program and reading the "360
Dyno proven packages" leaves me totally confused. I need some recomendations
for the cam for my 360 engine. 9.2:1 compression, 2.02 and 1.6" valves,
stock 1979 iron heads with slight porting, Stock 273 adjustable rockers. 1
5/8" shorty headers, 2900# "A" body, very limited street use, 1/8 mile track
 4.10 and 5.13 gearsets, 28" D.O.T. tires, 2500 RPM stall, cable shift 904
trans with manual valve body. Undecided on intake or carb. I really like the
idea of a solid cam because it seems that it would be more consistent than a
hydraulic. I welcome all opinions and recomendations. LA small blocks are
new to me. I know the low compression and 2500 convertor are limiting
factors, but that's what I've got. I'd like to keep the redline about 6000
RPM for longevity. Hope that Don kicks in here.
