Here is a video of the 704 cam in a 462 pontiac, although it doesnt state what compression it has, it sounds relatively mild for its specs, but has just enough attitude to sound great for a street car.

I just wanted to be clear about the link I just provided above... I reach out to the owner, and he told me his 704 is indeed on a 112° seperation, instead of the normal 110°. His engine also had 9.6-1 compression. So the normal 110° 704 would have a little more attitude than the one in that video, but I still think it would be fine for a 9.6-1 to 9.8-1 467 cu in engine.
