If you're getting long tube headers don't bother with an LT1 cam, get something bigger. You're probably going to need some head work to handle the new cam, so you better look into that also.

I'd take a look at the comp cams website maybe, I'm too tired right now or I'd look for you

Aren't long tube headers going to be a pain in the butt for an install?

He'll most likely have to either pull the engine, or lift it up, and he might have to make some modifications to the floorpan/tranny depending on what brand he gets.
