new cam, stall converter? Reply #2 – July 22, 2007, 07:39:10 AM No. What else is done to this vehicle? E7 heads in stock form will probably not be able to reap the full benefits of that cam Let's not even talk about E6's. Also you're gonna need a tailshaft governor that let's you go to around 6000 RPM. I'm guessing you have a 7.5" rearend. I'd recommend 3.45's, a 2800 lockup stall convertor and some decent heads with a mass air conversion as I can't see that cam making too much vacuum. Quote Selected
