Yes and I need to mention that the car has an AODE (Art Carr) rebuilt race transmission and a 2800-3000 stall. Around 6 more months before I get the 347 block for it.

For that stall I would go with an E303 cam.Much more than that is gonna make it lug the car in gear at idle.IMO

Another good candidate for one of Cranes "Powermax" series (the old Compucam EFI cams). They are friendly on duration, but lift figures are generous. Use Crane part number 444225.

Yeah,I do like those cams.Dont know the specs on those just used the Ecam as example.I would say around a .500 lift for the stock block and no more than 224 duration.But again thats just an opinion.Because I think marc has a 3500 stall in the vert with an f303 cam and pulls that car at idle .but not to bad

Crane #444225 is somewhere around .513/.529 lift...and 212/218ยบ duration I think. You'll love it. Prepare to upgrade later though, with the 347. At that point, you can start getting serious.
