stupid question

Ok got a 305 tbi in trade cause of unfortunate issues with my 350 gotta pull ok I was wondering if I can put a regular non roller cam in the 305 and run it just until I fix the 350 one of my main reasons I am asking is because I have a cam laying around and I want to run a mechanical fuel pump and the sto k cam wont work

Re: stupid question

Yes but you have to use a timing chain for a normal flat tappet cam and the push rods will be a different length.

Re: stupid question

I hope you already know this but you never know. You have to use normal lifters with the cam too. You cant reuse your roller lifters on that cam. (You never know)
