What are the @50 duration numbers on the cam?

Most likely you will have to raise the idle speed to allow for the cam ( and possibly change the stall as mentioned )
If you are making the Hp you claim from a 355 then no way is it gonna idle like stock
What induction do you have?

Re: engine during in gear

Usually that's a matter of tuning; idle speed & mixture, having enough ignition timing, etc.

What cam is it? (part # or grind # ONLY please)

What kind of carb? How's it set up? What's the timing curve?

THe stock converter probably isn't helping, but it should idle, regardless. Usually that just makes a car have no "leave".
