290 is a big cam, ideal for a carb'd engine. check the valve lift though, often a big duration also has a big lift. you dont want the pistons to hit the valves.

also the bigger lift may mean that the valve springs go coilbound so an uprated spring with less coils may be needed.

It won't run well at all with the standard inlet setup.

You wont need pocketed pistons imo.
300+ deg cams clear fine in 8v engines.
Worth checking first tho.

Oh and btw, a 290deg cam on the standard management will be utter shite. Idle will be terrible, and it'll drive badly.
