BBC Solid Roller Cam which one?

[C20-67_N_MO]

Okay my SBC forever friend just got a good deal on a 396 .030 over big block. Wants me to help find a good set of alum. heads and solid roller camshaft.

All we really know about this engine is it has some dome tops and truck reg. heads on it now.

He really wants to beat up on a 580ci and I honestly don't see it happening with this little BB.

But back on point what would be a good combo for a standard close ratio standar mun. tranny? I say mun. cuz I not sure how to spell that popular trans.

Any input would be helpful as we both are clueless with big blocks.

oh and btw this will be a Street/Strip engine going in a 1967 RS/SS Camaro.

Not sure about in a 396 but my brother had a 427 with peanut port heads and we put the Comp cams XR286R street roller in it and it ran really well. Was 10:90's with turbo 350 and 3.73 gears in a 70 nova. We have used that same grind in 454's and a 496 with good results everytime. Not sure what compression ratio your looking at but like with any motor the larger the c.i.d. the less compression you can run with the same cam. The 496 was 9.6 to 1 and went in a 79 camaro and ran 10.0-9.90's on motor. The part number for that cam is 11-772-8 if you interested in it.
