It'll help, but you'll need to dig deeper if you're trying to make it comparable to a 350. I had some of my motor-heard buddies blueprint a 305 block, which had new:
Rings
New main bearing
Lifter bearings
Mail seal
Oil Pump
Distributor
Gasket set
Edelbrock Proformer Cam
Holley 600 Carb
So, I would go with the new cam at LEAST, but you should replace the above if you've got a lot of milage on your block..
