in my search for that lunati 60103 cam, I found:

summit, $110 USD + shipping, border fee/duty + 4-6 weeks wait
Bumper to bumper - $170CA +tax, not sure on wait time
MOPAC - $135CA+tax, ~3 weeks wait.

So it looks like MOPAC is actually the winner here, bonus to that is easy to return if something goes wrong.
Just for fun, check Best Buy Performance's price on it. They usually beat Mopac's price by a few bucks but nothing is ever in stock.

Engine: 406Ci Vortec SBC
Transmission: TH-350/3500stall
Axle/Gears: 7.5" Auburn 4.10 Posi-Traction
The cam is too big for a stock stall.
Needs a 2800stall and a 3.73-4.10 rear gear.

Lunati #06109 or #60101 camshaft is a much better choice with a stock stall converter.
Lunati #73943 are the right replacement spring for either cam. No machining required.
Replace the 305 head's exhaust rotator type retainers with 8 stock type retainers and install a 3 shim pack (valve spring seat shim) (.015+.030+.060) on each exhaust spring seat on the 305 heads.
