looking at getting a 68 400 from a catilena for my 73 lemans ,maybe adding headers and a performer intake and a q-jet would this be a decent cam to fend off the rice with ?

I never had good results with a single pattern cam on stock heads. 108° doesn't sound good either for a Pontiac.
Need to know more about the '68 catalina engine (low/hi compression, 2bbl or 4bbl) and if you are going to completely rebuild it.

Those would be small valve heads. Could be either low or high compression. I think A/C cars usually got high compression heads in '68. If you want a budget daily driver re-ring ang go. If you want more performance, there are better head selections. If post in the "drivetrain street" section many people will offer suggestions.

I think you will also need adapters to mount a 68 block in a 73-77 frame, but they aren't expensive.
