Cams and Heads

If I have not heard of 20 different combos... good God. Well I'm now down to using Edelbrock heads and a Comp Cam. Part numbers EDL-60379 and CCA-35-514-8. I'm hoping this a street setup kicking in around 1000rpm. I'm combining this with an RPM intake and a 600cfm 4 barrel carburetor. The big deal on cams is duration and lift. Less duration, lower RPM power range. Less lift, less power. The heads must me able to handle the lift you choose, and make sure it's the right hydraulic roller setup!

I also realized that this new block does not use a mechanical fuel pump, so I'm back to Summit for a pump and regulator. I'm also facing issues withe the oil pan... Fox vs old school front oil feeder. No this is not just a "drop in".
