You would be okay with the XM262H, the additional advance and the 2 degrees less lobe separation with the XE version is probably a deal breaker though. Open thru hull exhaust or thru-prop? I ran the XM262 in a similar setup with 882 heads but stroked to 383. I had 9.6:1 comp. and it was too much. I was trying to use the flat tops that I had, but should have changed them out. Very torquey cam, would probably run out to about 5200-5300 with a 350.

Yes, with the lazy ramps of a flat tappet grind and stock exhaust this cam has a lot of duration for such a "mild cam" when used with stock exhaust. I would go with the xm grind. You will like it.
