L69 cam from 305 into a 350?
I have a 305 TPI with an L69 cam and 305 heads. I want to put a 350 in there. I have read many posts on how to do this and just wondering if I can use the L69 cam in the 350? the car is a 86 TA Firebird.

Since a 350 is 15% larger than a 305, the L69 cam would be useless.... it wasn't that strong to begin with.
I would buy a good dual pattern hydraulic cam for it.

Is this a roller cam?

No L69 cams were of the roller lifter type.
Is it still in the motor, or is it loose right now?

It will cost less or the same to buy and rebuild a 350 instead of your 305. It never makes any sense to rebuild a 305.

For what you will spend on a rebuild you can get a much nicer 350 crate motor. What's your budget?

Of course, the Monte's had HO's, but I'm not up on their cams, nor how long they continued them. I do know they didn't even have dual snorkel air cleaners.
