Factory iron '68 -'72 Q-jet intake (with '72 being the best match to the 6X heads, exhaust crossover-wise).

800 CFM Q-jet '76 -'77. Can be found on common 350 and 400 engines of this vintage.

What rear end gears will you be running? The RAIV cam like lower gears.

If you have highway gears (2.78, 2.93, 3.08) I'd suggest going a bit smaller on the cam like the Summit 2802 or the Crower 60242. Still plenty of power but a bit more street-friendly than the RAIV cam.

The RAIV cam is a good bracket race cam but not a particularly good cruiser cam.

Consider the type of driving you'll be doing. If you like to hammer it all the time and have enough gear go RAIV. If you want better street manners and better throttle response below 3000 RPM (where you'll be doing 99% of your driving) then go for the smaller cam.
