Those older GM cams make good power with inexpensive valve trains and fairly good idles but you need around 10.5 C/R to get them to run right. Without that, they are dogs.
I run a L-46 350/350 cam with 10.5 C/R with flat tops, iron aftermarket heads with modern kidney bean chambers and a tight quench. You can barely notice any idle shake. Easy to live with, pump gas, closed hood type vehicle. Pulls well all the way up to 6000 RPM.
