350 Cam

roller cam, Duration @ .050" 214/220, Lift .452"/.465", Lobe sep. 109',

would this be a good choice for a 350, with ported 305 heads, edelbrock performer intake, 600-750 cfm carb, 700R4 trans, 3.42 rear gears, also the cam will get springs that match, the car will be daily driven also.

The cam is a take off out of a crate motor, i can get it for 80 bucks so what do you think of it?

Will make a nice streetable daily driver. The LSA is a bit tight but fine for a carb.

It should be quite liveable. The duration is acceptable, the lift isn't outrageous but the LSA is a little narrow. Still, with a carb it will be good.

The narrower the LSA, the rougher the idle due to intake/exaust valve overlap and the resultant lower vaccum at lower rpms. But it also helps mid-range torque.

The notorious peanut cam has a 109 LSA, too. But, as Apeiron told me, it has no vacuum issues because it never opens the valves :lala:
