1966 Monaco 4 BBl conversion ( Camshaft ?)

I have a stock 4 door 66 Monaco that I installed a 4 BBl intake and carb on several years ago but didn't swap the camshaft. The engine runs great however its got a few oil leaks and the freeze out plugs need to be replaced so I'm pulling the motor this spring because its time to address these issues. Could anyone recommend a good camshaft & lifter kit to put in? Also planning on replacing the timing chain as well.


The cars exterior and interior were fully redone a few years ago, its a solid car and it deserves these improvements. Also it was converted to duel exhaust as well.


Joe

To keep it a nice driver... I would say nothing over an advertised 270* Duration.

Comp Cams. # 21-215-4 268H , this should liven up the 383 with 218 @ .050. and .454 lift, get the kit with springs and timing set and you good to go.
