Needles to say I removed the engine and am in the proces of taking it apart again.

I've always been wary about the XE274H cam in the build ( negative posts ).
The problems I'll address but , I've been searching thrue a lot of posts about a fitting cam and I only get more confused about the load of info to absorb.


My goal was 500 hp
So now that it's on the engine stand and I need to order parts anyway , any quick suggestions on the cam ?

462 , BRC pistons , eagle rods , eagle cast crank.
KRE D-ports cleaned up and 2.11/1.66 valves , Harland Sharp 1.5 RR
Q-jet modified according to Cliffs instructions , RPM intake.
Everything port matched , Hedman 1 3/4 headers.
TH400 / TCI converter stall 2000 , 3.31 : 1 gears.
Good ol' Schneider cams.
Been around since the 50's or 60's.
Not sure whar exactly you're looking, so I'll provide links to a few pages.
Straight up solid lift and hydro roller cams are apparently custom grinds these days.
