318 LA roller block questions

Your welcome. I read heavily on camshafts (obsessive is a good description for myself as well) from many different sources. The long departed and the currently active all have interesting thoughts on camshafts. Take in as much as possible.

Never worry about what the cam idle is like. The narrower the centerline and the larger the over lap leads to that nasty racer idle but in truth, it’s dishing out A LOT MORE TORQUE than that smooth idling cam is.

In the end, what ever makes you happy. But I’d hate to see you use a cam that could throw away an easy 40 ft. lbs. on the low end just for the sake of a smooth idle.
Thanks, and yeah.. torque and midrange is what i want for now.. If you have thoughts on a specific cam please let me know :) thanks for all the information. I'm also not married to having a roller.. but i mean... if you can go roller easy why not? :) Mainly.. i keep seeing horror stories in forums and from youtubers about wiping cams constantly in the last few years.. rather just not worry bout any of that.

P.S. I see hughes has spider and dogbones pretty cheap.. gonna look for a stock set+ lifters as there is no rush.. no one will have heads for a few more months and i will need a few months to get the car to the point of getting the engine ready anyway.
