Frequently the aftermarket folks like Elderbrock will have stock curves , so they can show you how much "better" the engine is with their product.

Try the camshaft re-grinders too.

If someone could provide basic Engine specs: cam timing, valve size & lift, compression, carb size, etc. I have software that can provide the HP/Torque curves, and would be happy to provide.

thanks for the response.
i obtained the data from a helpful mechanic.
i have just returned from picking up my new (old) 7.4l 454 crusader.
we fired her up in the parking lot-very exciting.
