First off i would to say hello. New to the site but  not to new to mopars. Here's the deal I`m going to build a 360
with around 9-1 compression stay with lower grade fuel. The motor will have a dual plane intake 600AFB or  T-QUAD
My deal is camshafts I`m going a crazy. I hear great stuff bout engle and hughes. I heard that engle K-52 or
the k-54 would be awesome But i can`t find any info with engle cams in SB mopar. Lot of big block stuff  info
which i heard engle cams rule. here's the link for the engle i thought would be good for me  .295" 210° 113°

RV's. Powerband 1200-5000 approx. 4416H EP-16HYD EX .440" 256° .295" 210° 4453H

Street performance, good idle. Lightly modified IN .458" 260° .305" 216° 113°

engines. Powerband 1500-5500 approx. 4418H EP-18HYD EX .458" 260° .305" 216° 4493H

Street hot rod, fair idle. 9.0 to 9.5:1 compression. IN .468" 268° .310" 226° 110°

Powerband 1800-5800 approx. 4420H EP-20HYD EX .468" 268° .310" 226° 4493H

I can`t seem to any of the k-52 or 54  does engle still make them. Rear gear for the car will be like 2.91-3,23 with a/c  street driver long trips want to cruise with a little rumble.

auto or stick ?
stall converter ?
Flat tappet hyd or hyd roller grind ?
I used a lot of the Engle grinds up until they sold out , lately I have been using more of the Lunati Voodoo & custom grinds , Hughes cams were all ground by Engle until Hughes upset them & told to find another supplier .

Dual springs recommended for that cam. Heads will need to be machined for them.

machine the heads is that due to the lift of the camshaft lift  or beacause of double valve springs
I heard factory SB mopar valvetrain can only deal with camshafts in the 460- lift area. BTW thanks for all the help

Do yourself a favor, call Engle or Racer Brown and speak to somebody who engineers the cams, have all your engine info and know what you want to do with it, how you want it to act, how much power you want, etc.
You won't be sorry.

Torque converters are for construction equipment.

Too many people like to shoot from the hip with cam recommendations. Call the manufacturer/rep, but also do your own homework. Don't just look at lift and duration.

Dual springs won't clear the factory guides or sit correctly in the spring pockets. I wouldn't go much over 480 with stamped rockers.
