When the bottom end was done they put a cam in it, just not sure of what cam exactly, it's lumpy though. I posted a video of the truck idling I'll see if I can find it and post it here.

Sounds like more than a RV cam if it has a lumpy idle. Personally i'd leave that alone and spend your money on a better carb and or ignition. Nothing wrong with an Edelbrock, but if you really want acceleration its tough to beat a Holly or some derivative of it. IE Quikfuel.
