If you paid $200.00 you got a good deal, that cam is pretty mild and not sure how one would figure 9.0 compression without knowing what heads. what about the crank??

I would say any fresh rebuild short block for $200 is a great deal. Can't go wrong with that. It would cost you more then that just to buy the parts.

it has the steel truck crank ground and polished
I have some of the receipts, he paid $253 just for the block prep

That's a good cam for a 318. You'll get some non stock idle with those duration figures and that LSA in a teen. It won't be much, but it will be noticable. It will run better than it sounds.
