The only benifit to a geardrive is it can be adjusted easier. If you want one even easier than that then you need a belt drive. I have seen several dyno tests with the different drives and never seen more than 2-3 hp differance if the cam timing was no changed.

Will these cams have a good lope to them? Will they work fine with factory exhaust manifolds? And should I use a stall converter other than stock? Thanks for the help.

if it's a stock long block, low compression 360, the 262 will have a bit of lope if you set the idle at about 700 RPM in gear (will pull ~11-12" vaccuuum)....it works sweet with a converter that stalls in the 2300-2500 RPM range. pulls like a mother.....been there, done that, bought the T-shirt, but I was also using an eddie 600, eddie air gap, and headers.
XE268 will be a little rougher idle, and lower torque on the low end with a little more HP up top (say, north of 5500 RPM) in the same motor as the XE262. I'd probably up the stall speed another 200 RPM or so.
I strongly recommend the summit headers. good quality, cheap price, will make a good 15-20 lb ft more torque throughout the rev range.
