Default What rumblestick???

I'm trying to decide on a new cam if there is significant wear in my current lobes/lifters. Here's the stuff already in the engine:

Unknown cam (hydraulic flat)
High-rise dual-plane intake
600cfm vacuum secondary electric choke carburetor
Forged 11:1 pistons (2.4cc dome, TRW)
.030 overbore = 355ci
Forged crank
Pink rods
Pocket ported (gasket matched) 186 heads (2.02/1.60 with unshrouding)
DynoMax Ceramic Headers
4-speed
3.55 posi rear

I currently pull 9" of vacuum at idle at 6,000' with a lopey idle. Also, estimated lift is .474" at the valve (intake and exhaust, 1.5 rockers).

I'd like to keep a nice lopey idle and around the same vacuum if not a little more... :smash:

Hi, sorry I can't help you with the cam (I just started researching cams myself), but I did notice that you have a high rise manifold. I didn't think that there is much more room under a 69' small block hood than there is under a 79' hood... do you know if I could fit a high rise?

Thanks,
Jerry

My setup is such:

Weiand 3000 - no clue what it is, but it's a high-rise dual plane.
Holley Street Avenger - with choke
K&N Drop base (air cleaner)
K&N 3" tall filter
Stock air cleaner lid

I rub the bottom of the hood...it fits, but it's wearing a spot, so I want to go to the L-88 hood and a spacer (if needed) under the carb to get the cold air induction working.

I'd stay around 226 to 230 degrees @ .050.
