v6 and v8 cameros are very different cars. You're going to need to change a lot of stuff from the bell housing, radiator, motor mounts, maybe some suspension parts for the extra weight, etc... I would consider getting a front clip out of a v8 camero, drop in your v8, bolt up your transmission with a new bellhousing, and get an alignment. Why settle for a 305 when you could have a 350?
I won't agree or disagree on your opinion of comp cams, but when I put a new cam in the 350 in my 76 Vette I went with Howard's and have not been disappointed. With the junk coming out of China these...
