For stock heads, yes. Be sure at the very least to get the reccommended springs and check for interference.

Re: 305 is this cam too big (470)lift
i had a friend run a 270 H Crane cam is his 85 carbed 305 .... 270 durat, 47 on the lift on each side.... it ran pretty good, wasnt as fast as he thought it was, it did sound mean at a idle, but then again he has a chunk taken out of a one of the pistons, this was 4 years ago, its still sitting motorless, i hope he will just put any old V8 in it and get it running, but that wont happen

A/C condensor, if you have one. Water pump. Harmonic Balancer. Possibly a couple little braces on the front end. May have to loosen the oil pan.... timing cover most assuredly needs to come off....
