Cam choice: 350 truck motor
I am going to be pulling the tired 305 sb out of my 84 K10 pickup. I want to keep my budget around $3000 for everything (motor, tranny rebuild, fluids, everything). The truck is a work horse. It is always loaded or towing my trailer (12' enclosed, about 4000lbs). I want a good torque cam and its gotta sound good.
The new setup so far goes as follows:
350 long block - http://store.summitracing.com/partde...067353&FROM=MG
Edelbrock performer intake
Edelbrock carb (from old motor)
700r4 tranny (going ot get a rebuild)
coated headers (just ordered, current ones have a golf ball size hole in one of the primaries)
dual exaust (on the truck already)
Here are the cams I am looking at, also will I need springs to go with any of these cams?
comp cams 12-235-2
1,000-5,200 RPM 210 int./218 exh 0.447 int./0.462 exh. lift
comp cams 12-239-3
1,300-5,600 RPM 218 int./226 exh 0.462 int./0.480 exh. lift
comp cams 12-206-2
1,200-5,200 RPM 212 int./212 exh. 0.440 int./0.440 exh. lift

I would like to get a little higher compression motor but for the money I can't go wrong. I think I am going to go with the 12-235-2.
After the motor and tranny are squared away I am thinking about a 14 bolt dually rear end. short bed dually ftw

A cam that is working great for my cousin's work truck 350 is as follows:
Adv Duration 280/280
.050" 208/208
109* LSA
105* Int centerline
.448" Int/Exh lift with 1.6 rocker arms
4-7 swap firing order
The cam and the lifters were only $190 plus shipping.
