I need help selecting a cam for my '58 Ford Custom 300 292 Y-block engine. It is currently stock but I've changed the intake and carbs to a Ford 2x4 intake and dual 500cfm Edelbrock carbs. I've also upgraded to ignition system with a points-eliminator kit from Accel. I'm also thinking of upgrading to headers but have'nt found a decent source within my budget. It currently has dual exhaust. I was thinking of one of those thumpr cams but I'm not sure. I want that big cam sound but that is streetable.

Any suggetions?

58 Ford Custom 300 - San Pedro, CA (So-Cal)
