There is a lot you have to look at as far as heads and whatever to get everything matched up well, but I've always been a fan of Comp Cams for ANY engine size. I am using the XE284 in my 412 and it sounds GORGEOUS... I think the specs call for a stall of 2750+ for the 350 so you may need to swap stall convertors...

What is the cam going in? A EFI or carb'ed motor? Stock motor or otherwise? If you just rush into the lumpy cam decision without also pairing and matching it with all the other affected mechanical and electrical components, your heading for disappointment. List your specs / build and go from there.

Good luck

Comp cams XE268H seems to be a fairly popular choice. Its the one ill be using and I believe is the most aggresive cam for a stock converter.

However, it does ultimately depend on the other components of your valve train.
