My 66 S works best with a lower end GT type cam. May differ with your 410 pistons. I have heard from some that IF your cylinder walls are decent and IF your ridge is faint you can just put a 410/428 crank and run the same rings with out breaking them.

At the risk of being laughed out of here by Jay and others, I would say for your RPM range the Sp2p would make the most torque.. I built a 416 for towing and the Sp2p made 30 ftlb more torque than a performer at 3000 rpm. Of course it was out of breath at 3600. For the 2000 to 3000 rpm range it would work well.

I should ban you for that heresy, Royce LOL ;D

For sure, the SP2P would provide better mileage!
