I'm runnin a 2330 in my 383 66-300, not to lumpy but noticeable. It's the largest I could go without swappin the converter, didn't want to do that. It's by no means a burnout king, but it's a great freeway flyer w/a 3:23 rear which is fine by me. I would think with a 4 spd. it'd give you what you want. I would trust a Hughes recommendation, maybe go the next smaller?? I'm sure others will chime in.

Steelone we put that cam in my cousin's nicely restored 68 roadrunner/383.. it was a fairly stock setup with a 750 DP/4 speed car, similar to yours he's been very happy with it. Nice street cam. Not too rough of an idle but a little sound to it...makes good torque and moves well, he drives it everywhere, with a 3.73 gear....for what you seem to want that should be a nice cam. You said manual brakes, did you mean power? (Manuals don't use vacuum so cam choice doesn't affect brakes) Oh and....love the Ansen's! Ol' school rims!

changed my mind on the cam. my brother in law is bringing me a 440 out of an early pickup that was a mild build and it runs he was going to put it in a coronet but that did not happen he owes me big time . he,s a super good guy the best part of the whole thing is its freeee .so saving the cash and putting it into that thank you guys for the replys.and good hunting.
