Where can I find the cam specs for my engine? I want to replace the 305 with a 350 and still meet emissions, so I want to use the 305 specs as a ballpark baseline to select the cam for the 350.

?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. my haynes repair manual says that an 86 305 will have an intake lift of .2484 inches and exhaust of .2667 inches.
The 1986 350 had an intake lift of .2600 inches and exhaust of .2733 inches. If this isn't what you wanted than sorry.

Yeh.. those are the same numbers I found in my Factory Service Manual. I was thinking more along the lines of Duration at .050 lift, overlap etc. Thanks for looking them up though... I appreciate it. The Automotive Engine Rebuilders Association has them if you're a current member... which I'm not. Guess I'll have to wing it.
