ok, getting closer to the actual swap, what i need is cam info.

will i be allright running an edelbrock performer 289 intake, a 650 off road carb and a stock 87-93 5.0? im not looking for top end power
(allthough i wouldnt complain) because i doubt i will ever have my foot to the floor(unless stuck im mud or something, truck is very unstable at high speed, or even taking off fast it would feel like it was doing a wheelie)

i just want it to be able to produce good power for pulling(a utility trailer with all my campin gear). it is going to have a compound low of about 180:1, so its not too important the low range power
