Jeepguy,
I think you would be better off if you could find a good (GOOD LUCK) engine builder and have him recommend what you need for your engine. In fact the 292 advertised duration cam is pretty lumpy at idle and will cause low speed driveability problems unless you really know how to set-up your carburation, ignition torque converter. gearing, etc. SB Chevy engines are very forgiving but they can be easily screwed-up also.
Go to a good bookstore and buy David Vizard's book on building SB Chevys and the one on hotrodding the SB Chevy. Read them before you spend a penny.
After 50 years of building, racing, etc. I sometimes wish I had taken up ceramics or basket weaving.
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
