lt cam in a 86 305?

Hey everyone. First I wanna say I did search this but found nothing.

What I was hopin you all could tell me is if I can use a Lt cam in a 86 305 in a trans am? I know you can use the LT cam, I just dont know about the lifters. Will I have to use different lifters or will I be okay with stockers?

No.

You need to have a roller block. It is possible to put in a retrofit kit to make it a roller but I hope you have an extra $400.

You have flat tappet cam, on the bright side your cam and lifter sets are dirt cheap, but you have to break them in. Which kinda sucks.
