head and stall question
head and stall question would it be bad to run a cc306 with a stock stall and heads. I know i will need different springs and stuff but what about the heads and stall.
You wont be happy. Too much cam for stock compression, not enough head to let it really make power, and it will not drive well on a stock stall.
After doing just a mild cam before stall I have to say that is a mistake, and the cam I did was smaller than the HOT cam which is quite a bit smaller than the 306.

LPE/Accell 211/219 @ .05 area cam would work great with stock verter. Or try a custom cam from Bret Bauer. There is also AI for custom cams...along with just calling cam manufactures tech line.... 
I would not run any bigger cam on stock stall, something like the Lingenfelter cam mantioned above will still drive great but I would be suprized if you gained .2 where a stall would get you more like .4. Or you could do like me and make the mistake of doing the cam first and gain little but then later give it a stall and at that point gain .8.
The reasons for doing things come into play. If the motor is out now and you have only enough money to do cam or staoll then go ahead and do the cam now and stall later. If you are afraid of stall then you need to do more research. Modern QUALITY converters can offer great drivability. Just a few years ago I was afraid of stall, now in warmer months I daily drive a 3400 stalled Caprice on rural roads very little highway, even do some light towing with it.
If you are anywhere near Green Bay let me know, my car will be back on the road from winter hibernation possibly as soon as this afternoon.
I had a 2800 stall before this and at least one gearhead passenger in the car commented how I should do a stall as we puttered through town. Once we got to the edge of town I showed him it was stalled.

My wife used to drive mine a lot with the old 2800 stall and I drove it through Wisconsin winter. She still drives it occassionally with the 3400.
Actually back when I had the 2800 stall it was my only car and saw 20k+ a year and was mildly cammed ZZ4 cam 208/221.

I think the 260xfi cam would be a good cam. that cam would be good with a 2800 stall duration@50 is 210-218, lift is 560in & 550ex on a 113 lobe
