Well though I have been working on cars for a living since the late 80s most of what I have been doing is stock replacement stuff. I've rebuilt a few slants over the years, but again, stock /but machined to clean up and bring clearances back to where they should be. Done a little performance work on small blocks but even, then mostly stock.
Looking at cam charts, overlap, duration, etc makes my head spin. So on that part of this build I am leaning on others, who know and between here and the /6.org forum, the consensus is about the same for picking a cam, and what hardware to use with it.
Not trying to argue at all, RRR, but to be honest I have had more say that 318 springs are basically "std issue" replacement for /6springs, you're the 1st that I've had say different. IDK how much lift it takes to coil bind 318 springs on a /6 but this cam that I am wanting to run is right around .435 -. 440" lift. This is for a truck that will be used like one, I doubt it'll ever see 4000 rpm.
While I'm here, what would you run then, I wanna do this exactly once.
