Well, after thinking about it, I did decide to change the cam. I figured as long as Im changing rockers and need new pushrods (and the winter is long), I may as well try to optimize this combo. After speaking w Dwayne about my goals and driving needs, we ordered up a solid FT Comp cam. Here is a quick comparo of the new vs old grind:

Old - Hydraulic ft: 240/246@.050, .507/.510, 110lsa

New - Solid ft - 248/252@.050, .538/.544, 110lsa

So, not a ton different, but should make more power and take better advantage of the TF 240's.

Also, picked up a sweet 950 carb from BradH (to replace the 830 QF elec choke carb). Brads carb looks amazing and nicely baselined for my combo. He also Included a detailed build sheet and even some extras for tuning. He knows his stuff! Can't wait to get this engine running again. For now, it's just a deep freeze.
