Default Re: 396/375 cam for street 454?

I had a '62 BubbleTop BelAir with a '71 Vette LS5 454 in it with the Vette 4 speed. Car weighed 4000+ lbs. It had the stock '71 8.5:1 ? pistons in it. It had a GM 375/396 cam in it, 780 Vac. sec. Holley on a C396 Edelbrock dual plane intake, 2 1/8" fenderwell Hooker headers, stock GM ignition, had the #820 heads on it. I think it was 3.08 rear axle ratio? Car ran on regular gas (1980's). You could dog it, shift into 4th gear running 25 mph. Put the pedal to the floor, and it didn't buck, jerk, or anything but start gathering up the speed like a freight train. I loved that car and engine combo. Still kicking myself for selling her. Hopefully she's still in the hands of Delmer McAfee in Odessa, Tx.?
