sounds like a winston cup engine! lol. Your heads are a bit big, i would go 190 200cc intake port, you'll make more power, that 230cc port is big enough to feed a 454 mouse! what erik said, go with 750-850cfm carb with mechancal secondaries.why a tunnelram? why not a victor jr? your bottom end (block,crank,rods,) seems all good. the cam seems also a little big for street/strip duty.i would use 250-260 duration cam.this combo seems like a allout drag strip brawler,i would think about your combo a bit more before ordering these parts.this motor may not apreciate town driving, ask yourself how much town driving are your planning on doing. is there a specific horsepower mark your trying to acheive? or a quartermile time? tell us more about the car like gears, tranny,tire size, ever thought of building big cube small block like a 406-422-427-434-454, your combo will be just as exspensive and may not be as street worthy as a big cube mouse, i know your can build 550hp 500tq 406 for the same price of this engine, and have 10.5 with pump gas, just something to think about
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
