I have a 90's 350 with vortic heads...
I used the summit
thumper cam kit-cca-k12-600-4
spring shims-cca-4753
valve seals-fel-proq5572861
push rods-cca-7812-16
cam lock plate-cca-4605
I had to send back the kits behive springs and retainers because of clearence issues.....I found that
retainers-cca-742-16
springs-cca-981-16
worked well


heard it run on the engine stand, sounds great......didn't have the dough for the carb,water pump,exhaust manifolds,etc. so the engine stand owner lent me his........

.. I would call that the Comp Thumpr cam as sold by Summit... one you have is biggest I would go with Vortec heads... what stall speed are you running? or is it stick shift? In some cases, the Comp recommended "2000 stall" converter may be a bit low for an automatic with that 227/241 cam depending on rear end ratio and your expectations. I'd highly recommend headers and true dual 2 1/2"-3" exhaust/mufflers to keep full power when installed in the car...
