camshaft help
Hello. I've always loved that lopeing idle a big camshaft gives. I've got a 350 engine I'm trying to find a cheap rebuild kit for (just need bearings and gaskets) that I have a cam for and will be switching to carb intake. in the meantime though I was thinking putting a cam in the engine that's in my 86 tpi camaro. I have a very small prom chip in it but I was wondering if there is a cam I could put in it that would give me that idle without having to change anything more than the cam itself. Also if anyone knows a good place to get a good cheap rebuild kit that would be great as well.

Rockauto.com seems to be cheap. Been looking at some stuff from them but don't know if buying parts aha cheap are worth the trouble.

Any cam big enough to lope isn't computer compatible.
