Welcome to the board Ron and sounds like you have a real killer street rod!

cam recommendations are for 265-400 SBC family will a 350 and 400 sbc perform the same with a cam that is sized for a 350?

The cam will look smaller to the 400 then it will to the 350.

will work perfect, and most likely be the right size!

Hey will 112 and 114 degree LSA make a big difference in idle quality? I do not want to run a high stall speed converter in order to idle in gear at a stop light. Is 2200-2500 RPM stall very streetable?
Appreciate the shoutouts!

2500 stall is barely above stock. I ran a 3200 for a few years on the street with no problems at all. 2 of those years was driving an hour 1 way to school every day.

112-114 LSA will make for a very smooth idle compaired to the same cam specs with a 108 LSA.

Will a marine application roller cam work ok in a 400 SHP with GM TPI are there draw backs in using this cam on the street?

The wider lobe seps make for great torque and better idle quality for sure along with better vacuum.hth
