[Cam question]

Back in 1992,  I pulled the original 4/bolt main ,, 041 heads, 300HP,, 350 engine  and stored it in my shop for 28 years. 

Just rebuilt this original numbers matching engine 20/over, with roller cam..  The Roller cam makes a huge difference in how the engine handles power. The power is smooth through out the power band and does it effortlessly and quieter… This is a great upgrade..!!

Rear end ratio is 256 gearing,,  700r4 transmission,,,,w1900stall converter  … 215/70 tires… Engine has great power and lots of low end torque between 1000rpm to 4500. ..    Engine currently has 750 miles on break in … Highway millage was 19MPG during break in…. local milage is about 14mpg …. … No need to lie about economy.. It seems to get the best mileage at 70 to 75.. RPM at that speed was about 2100. My tach is a bit off, so I'm not certain … … This car is set for cross country and freeway driving …. 

I actually got 20mpg back in 2005 during a 28 state cross country 9000 mile trip.

I took the original 300hp 350 in for a rebuild...

I removed it 28 years ago and stored it in my shop.  I plan to keep it basically stock except for a roller cam , lifters and a few upgrades ...

Any recommendations on lift and duration would be appreciated.

I installed a 700r4 about 8 years ago with an 1800 stall convertor.... When I installed the 700r4 , I originally went to a stall speed of 2400... Drove the car 300 miles to a car show and got horrible fuel economy ......  The 700r4 with the 1800 stall gives me a drop of about 500 rpm when compared to the  stock th350.... .... At 60mph it runs at 1800rpm,,,,  80mph it turns about  2400 rpms.... Great gas milage.
