Re: cam question
The cam in your 305? I definatley would not use the cam out of a 305 TBI. That is the smallest cam ever put in a v8 F-body. You can find a used Lt1 cam pretty cheap which is a little better than a stock 350 TPI cam.

Re: cam question
A quick rundown on cams for stock thirdgen's. Keep the duration below 220/220 and the lift under about .470/.470. Anything bigger and the stock ECM will require reprogramming and any lift bigger than .470 will require different springs.
