Here's what the current cam looks like:
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=211837&cc=1084126
About the tiniest cam known to mankind with 181/192 duration at 50 and .364/.399 lift, something like that.

The CS665 stock 360 dual exhaust cam is 203/203 and the lift is .410/.410. Also LSA is 110. This would be a good cam if you're looking to keep running those gears. The Enginetech version is ~$65 on Rockauto. Or the smallest of the Comp XE line or Lunati Voodoo line.

That 216/216 cam is an old Cam Dynamics chevy lobe grind, dating from the late '70s. They liked the single pattern cams. It would be a much better cam for a 360. The only reason it may work on a 318 would be the ports in the 318 style heads are pretty small so velocity is up, and a longer cam timing MAY help fill the cylinders.
But I'm predicting the engine'll be plenty doggy until around 2400 rpm. You'll be shifting down for hills. You could probably advance it 6 degrees ahead of split overlap.

Ok guys I'm back. I sold that Cam and broke even(thanks moparts)

I picked up a old weiand stealth dual plane #7507 this one has the square bore

Intake was as expected although it looks like is has the smaller 318 size ports. I have been googling for the last 1/2 and for somes can find the dimension although I have seen them somewhere.

The carb is a plastic 850 cfm thermoquad. So I would need to rebuild it and buy an adapter. I like the idea of the spreadbore but I'm sure that this carb is gonna responsive or boggy. I've never run one before.

Lastly I'm cam shopping.I found this one on rock auto as well what are your thoughts on this one?

ENGINETECH Part # ES1089R
Stage 1 high performance. May not be computer compatible. Use flat followers. .050" Duration-204/214; Cam Lift-.281/.296; Lobe Center-108/116.

the lift would end up being 4.21/444 with the 1.5 rocker arms

Thank you all for your input
