SBC cam help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I bough an engine with TBI and I’ve swapped it to carb for my 57 Chevy 3600 4x4. I want to put in a new camshaft but not sure what all I should replace because the cam in the block is setup for TBI. Because the degree would be off center a little. Would the stock cam be alright? And if I do add a cam, would I have to install new lifters, rods, valve springs, timing chain? Or would simply moving the cam timing a few degree be easier then spending roughly $500 more into a ****ty stock engine. Or just leave the cam alone and run it?

Suggestions and advice would be great.
Thanks
