Yeah, you're correct in thinking that's no way to choose a cam. What exactly have you bought? Do you have pistons and rods yet? How about the crank and headers and intake? And by the way, those headers are too big for a 350. 1 3/4" would be a God's plenty.

First, you determine the rpm range you want to operate in, then set the static compression ratio to coordinate with the cam, then choose the cam, then choose the springs to work with the cam according to the cam manufacturer's recommendations. Then you choose headers, intake and carb to work with all the rest of it. Then you choose a converter and gears based on the power range of the cam.
