New Member with new car...cam question

[cttandy]

Hello all. I am a new guy from Springfield, Tn. I Just purchased an 1983 Malibu Wagon for my wife. I have been looking for one for some time now and I am pretty excited about it.

The previous owner wants his engine, transmission, new holley carb, distributor and wheels back.

I have found some cheap wheels for $40 with new tires. I found a turbo 350 transmission for $200 (just removed from a friends car, I know it works).

I am getting a good used low mileage 350 from a friend and we are going to do the basic freshing up before it goes in. I am seriously considering sticking a cam in while we are at it since summit has their cams on sale ($80 with lifters). I am considering this

Will I need to run a stall with this?

The Comp Cams Thumper 279H says it is stock stall safe. It looks to be a more agreesive cam then this to me.

I can get a B&M stall that is 500 over stock (whatever that makes it) for my Turbo 350, still new for $100 on craigslist locally.

I'm not worried with making power, I just want to make it talky.

This will bring my budget to get the car on the road up to $800.

Re: New Member with new car

Thanks, should be a pretty nice car when its done. It came with some new parts. It has a straight body, nice interior other then the front seat and rear most headliner. It's clean underneath, very minor surface rust in a few places.

I need door seals for all 5 doors, if anybody has them.
