1984 cam swap suggestion

[McClayS]

I have a 1984 318 engine block and it was built for a flat tappet cam and lifters. I plan on changing it to a roller cam and lifters and such with good low end torque, Good fuel eco and reliable. Semi stock. Im having troubles finding one. Any suggestions?

Find a 90's to 03 360 magnum and swap that in. Better heads and a roller cam. Fairly cheap carb manifolds for them as well.

Ah, you're retrofitting magnum heads to an LA block?

Ah ok, that simplifies things. Try Hughes engines, they live small block Mopar. If memory serves there was also a cam company (Crane or Comp) years back that came out with retro rollers across small and big block Mopars.
