After an Indian summer long weekend it's raining cats and dogs here in Ontario as a cold front comes in. No fall this year LOL.

Don't put any cam with smaller specs than a 383-440 magnum resto cam. My 2 cents FWIW those RV/lawnmower cams are not worth the waste of iron in making the blank.

Is that the 383-440 HP ?...

That's the way it is listed in the Mopar Performance catalog. It might be written 383/440

I was planning on going stock build. What's the difference between the factory cam and the HP cam?

Dont, you'll be sorry...beef it up a little
Samplingman

Yeah, but once you change out the cam, then come high compression pistons, beefed up valves, ported and polished (whatever that means), edlbrock manifold, different carb, chrome valve covers, 6 pack, blower.....

MP used to offer a "purple" cam, which is about the equivalent to a HP cam. Works well and is not at all radical. You maintain your original hyd lifter, pushrods and rockers.
Use a set of 9:1 pistons for compatibility with todays pump fuels and make your power with some larger ports and upgraded carb.
This is a great combo for a big cruiser, very user friendly. If your intending on blowing smoke and doing other silly, showoff stuff with your car then you might want to go in a different direction.

I did my 383-2 to stock specs..... Very sad power

I'm not averse to beefing it up a bit but back in the day I replaced my stock cam in my '72 340 with a "Purple Shaft". Never got that thing to run right after that, it was a cascade of mods that had to happen and didn't. Whatever it takes to have this running under it's own power by next Summer. It's going on 7 years and I want to sit in the driver's seat before I have to use one of those Walmart scooters.

Eat like a gluttonous pig all your life, get so fat that you can't even walk, and what happens?
The gum'mint let's you collect disability, every old building is required by law to put in an elevator for you, and you have reserved parking in the blue spaces in front of walmart.
The Gum'mint rewards bad behaviour...
Yes, if he fell off his scooter in front of me, I would of course help and be concerned.
But it shouldn't have happened in the first place.
And he'll probably sue the scooter maker, walmart, and Coca Cola.
That picture is a mixture of emotions. I feel really sad seeing that but at the Same time I find it Hilarious. I would try my Best to Help that man (Women?) up but it is just terrible that so much of this Country is obese and unhealthy.

The only person that does that to himself is him..... No sympathy here.

Picture.. no comment. Camshaft, you will not be disappointed it will have good vacuum/low end grunt and not go flat at 4000 rpm.
