That would be a wild cam for a 305.

The one you bought, lol. As displacement goes down the effects of a cam go up.

Right thats what I though. Then you mentioned it could be a 305. If you were gonna put that cam in your motor and found out it was a 305 it would be on the roudy side for sure. All I was saying.

I'd contact them concerning guides before buying those heads. No mention of what was done (if anything) to the guides. See what they say was done, and what type of guide material was used. With unleaded gas the stainless exhaust valves are a good deal, but would have been nice if they'd gone all stainless. $450 is OK, but not a smokin deal.

Well they don't have accessory holes. A good sign they really are camel humps. The bad news is you alternator won't bolt to them. But for 450 you can almost get a set of Vortecs, and I know the cam you bought would rock with Vortecs.
