Hello, this is my first time on here so IDK exactly what I'm doing. That being said I am building a 460 and wondering what cam I should get. The specs aren't going to be anything crazy, it is the 1976 version, so it will have 8:1 compression and I'm going to run rebuilt stock heads and valve train. As for performance parts I'll be running a comp cams double roller pre 72 straight up timing chain set to correct factory retard, edelbrock performer RPM aluminum intake, Holley 750 carb and shorty headers plus other random bolt ons. Given it's bottom end is relatively stock besides being rebuilt what cam would compliment everything nicely without ruining low end torque and vacuum. What duration, lift and if you have specific recommendations. Thanks!!!

That cam is a single pattern and is a no go for the BBF.
We have the 204 / 214 on a 112 on the shelf with USA made Johnson lifters notched to oil and aid in break in.
Can ship Monday or tuesday.

Shoes. Think of it like shopping for shoes for your kid's size 10 feet. You buy a pair of size 13 boots because you're tired and they're cheap. Can your kid run in size 13 boots? Well, yeah, but if your kid had size 10 sneakers . . . 😁

HI,
Yes you want a split lift on the BBF's.
I ran a .30 over 1977 block, home ported D3's with Comp roller tip rockers with guide plates, Cam was Lunita .516 lift intake and .543 lift exhaust and I believe 110 LC. . 750 Edelbrock and performer intake. At the drags first time out turned 14.5 1/4 mile in my 1964 4 door International Truck.

I get that budget is a consideration here.
Rock auto has the melling version of that cam kit with melling lifters here:
Our version of that kit has an engine pro cam and made in USA Johnson lifters notched to oil from the top down for break in. Think cam saver lifters.
Cam, lifters and gibbs grease $429.95 plus the ride.

Would you personally recommend that melling cam and lifter kit? And what would your shipping be (just curious)? I don't know if I could do that much but I will see.
I really appreciate all your input
