That's a '60's technology cam. I'd get a 2017 technology cam. Just sayin'.
I just don't understand why folks would go with a cam designed with a slide rule. (I had a slide rule in college BTW).

The 350-350 cam was the reference for the cam used in the 350 ci w/ a gross hp rating of 350. It was similar to the L-82 cam.

You can remove and replace the cam in the car if you remove the radiator and air conditioning condenser first.

The 350 ci x 350 hp is a cam used in the '69 Corvette and is a great performer.It's Gross lift is a siamese style i.e. Gr. lift .447/.447 Great cam I have two engines with it and one engine with 125,000 miles running.
I would also suggest going to a Tremec or whomever 5 sp to reduce your RPM's at 3000- 4000 rpm and you could use your present engine and cam.
I have built many 383 for myself and others,1 locally here in Dunedin and has a 3:70 rear gears and he will be going to a 200R4 auto you get the Highway ride improvement and low end torque,,
Good Luck and Keep on keepin ON.
