Need a good cam and have some questions.

Guys, i have mostly worked with 60's muscle for most of my life, so bare with me. I need to know what cams are compatible with this engine? Do i need to be looking at roller cams? I heard this was a roller block, car is in sig.

Also, name some popular cams for our cars. I will be going with either a vortec heads, superram set up or trick flow head lti set up.

It's the first time it dawned on me that this car would call for a roller cam, so please help me out.

If that is the stock motor, which I assume it is, you have a roller motor.

Lots of people love to go with the lT1 roller or the lt4 cam. Vader posted a spec sheet in this post here What power band are you looking for??
