    Stall/Cam Matching. Needing some help

    In case you guys haven't noticed, i come up with about 20 useless ideas each day and only a few make it to the drawing board after i throw them at everybody here for suggestions.

    Anyways, I'm building an iron block 5.7L to replace my tired 4.8L with a bad cam and lifters. I don't even know the first thing about selecting cams to match stall speeds or vice-versa.

    Heres the specs that i have, but i have no idea what stall to put in,

    GVW: 4390lbs without spare tire on 10 gallons of fuel
    Trans: stock 4L60E with corvette servos
    engine: 5.7L stock crank and rods, 5.3L heads
    Camshaft!!!: 220/222 .581''/.581'' 114LSA (Crane cams)

    this camshaft was included in my donor engine for the 5.7L and its in great shape so i'm re-using it. If you guys have any suggestions i would sincerely appreciate it. i really have no idea how to pick a stall. . .
