78 cutlass W-31 build

Delta Cam?
I think it is delta cam but I'm still not finding cam specs in my search. This is killing me it's supposed to be a 69 400 442 manual trans cam 472/472 286/286 it's brand new but it's in the wrong box with no cam card. I'm trying to make sure of what it is before I use it. I also have a brand new w-31 cam but my brother swears it's too big for what I'm going to use the car for and I shouldn't use it it is surprising that it's actually bigger than a W-30 cam but I'm like Oldsmobile used them so wtf? Tomorrow morning I'm going to get pictures of all my grind numbers and post them up so you guys can help me out with this I want it to sound good and make at least 300 or more not a stretch it made 310 stock and be a good drivable car because in a year from now I'm probably giving it away as a birthday present. It's got a stall speed and it's getting 3:23s so it doesn't need a tiny cam

You will have squat for vacuum with a W31 cam. They had flat top pistons and .017" shim head gaskets in the W31, along with more stall and gear from the factory. Hopefully it is that cam you mentioned, also used in the 70 Olds 350 4 spd.

What primer did you use on the 350 block?
 
What temp range is it? I couldn't find any specs on the Eastwood site.
It's not Eastwood it's just body shop supplies from work I think it was U-pol but any auto body so fetching epoxies hold up to engine heat that's why the paint didn't come off my old parts in the hot tank at the machine shop. I don't know what it's rated for I just know it works better than anything in a spray can from an auto parts store.
 
You guys are correct it is a delta cam I found there sight and sent them pictures of the cam hopefully they get back to me today. I'm taking it easy this morning hoping my main bearings come soon the rod bearings showed up last night but that's not helpful without mains. Not to mention I'm burnt out on cleaning engine parts.
