 The factory did this when the 95 hp (889)cam  ran out on the assembly line. There would be very little little difference in performance. The 891 cam was used for many late applications. I've pulled a good number of OE PG engines apart with 891 cams in them as well.Paul Fox

 In mid ‘65, Chevrolet changed from standard 110 heads on the 110 motors in Air Conditioned cars to using 95 heads. These motors run very well. Slightly lower compression, but a better squish area. I have a 110 with 95 heads in one of my cars and it’s a great motor. 
 If you reassemble your motor with a 110 cam, this is what you will have, although I would go with a 319 distributor as well.
