anyone put a LT1 cam in an 87 L98?

Was wondering if anyone has put a LT1 cam into an 87 350 tpi? I have done a search for this and nobody has done the swap.
Has anyone heard if its a good swap or a bad one.
The specs are 87; 179/194 with 350/384 lift and 109 lobe.
The specs for the LT1; 203/208 with 450/460 lift and 116 lobe.

This sounds like a good swap to me but I need some input.
OH and I know about the dowel pin.

I don't think the minimal gains would be worth all the trouble of changing it and the valvesprings. Heres a link to roller cams... http://www.malcams.com/legacy/misc/CamData.htm

Also a LT1 cam is designed for a short runner intake so it wouldn't be optimal for TPI anyways.
