If you have an automatic without a high stall converter, forget about keeping it idling at stoplights, and forget about power brakes! Also you're way out on the ragged edge with that 625 CFM carb and the performer manifold. If you ask me ... and i know you didn't but i'm tellin you anyway  If that is in fact a 292H cam you're talkin about you need to either rethink that and tone the cam way down ... OR ... if its gonna be a mainly strip car ... go up a notch on the heads (maybe the Sr's instead of the Jr's or even better a set of AFR's ) also go up on the carb ... with that cam and the RPM it will require on a 351 you'd be way better off with a 750 CFM , or 650 CMF minimum, Holley or Demon. If its an automatic a 3500 stall converter, and some gears, i'd say 3.73's at least . Otherwise as a street racer that potential beast is gonna be a dog. Thats my 2 cents

Yep, that's the 292* magnum cam I have there. Remember about a month ago when I couldn't decide which cam to send back...the crower or comp cam? Guess which one I sent back?
If I get these heads, then the 58cc chambers should bump my compression into the 10.5:1 range(estimating)
I'm aware of the small carb. I have right now but my plans only are to get the engine in and running this summer and on the streets next summer. I just want to spend my money on the parts I need to get it in the car and fired up.
COMP CAMS recommends a 3000 stall converter and I have a 2800 stall. My gears are 3:73 right now.
I might still send that COMP CAM back yet...I don't know yet.
My engine combo isn't written in stone yet so things can still change. I think that 292 cam can make me a bunch of power if I get the right parts to go with it.
