Call crower cams and ask. Can't go wrong there.

The generic parts-store replacement cam has .390/.410 lift and 194º/202º duration. The 204º cam is a nice mild upgrade.

Are the heads stock to that 72 350?? don't guess.. run the numbers..
what cam you use on a flat top 355 and head chamber cc. will make or break it..
it is easy to get the static compression and dynamic compression to high with flat tops and iron heads.. and a stockish cam..
make sure you know what heads they are, don't guess run the casting #'s
