That cam should work perfectly with about 2400-2800 stall and that motor/car setup. BUT, that "boss hogg" converter will only stall around 1800-2000 on a Slant 6. You would need a 10" converter. Midwest converters can set you up with a nice custom converter for around $350.

I wouldn't trust those Alabama converters anyway.

Every engine build-up and presonal preferences makes this a hard question.
In general, the isky 264 is pretty good but it may kill-off some of the low end you need around town.
Do you want tight lash settings and a smooth idle?

I have a similar build in a lighter 5 speed car. I used a Comp 264(it was free) and wish I had more cam. Id go with the Isky.

I do no city driving. My car idles like a kitten.

Thanks for the advice. Since Iam not going to be racing and just want to wake up the slant a little. I had a 69 Dart with a slant back when and It would beat 318's no problem. Since doc thinks it may be a little much I may go isky 256. Gets the power down lower in the rpm's and I won't have to spend loads of $$ on a new torque converter. SMR wanted 500 Cdn for a high stall one.

Any further comments appreciated.

You do not want a stock size 11" converter, but a 10" converter, with plenty of stall. I do not recommend TCI, which used the wrong number of splines in my T.C., and then, after I had to remove it and return it to them, declared they could not build a 10" converter with only 18 splines. All this cost me about $500+ in unnecessary expense, and I still have to install a 3,500 stall 10" t.c. when I receive it from Rick Pare' in Washington state.
