    a 350 may move it but a 89 rs with T tops is a boat anchor for weight .i would go lower dolllar with a hyper piston and cast steel crank kit and get it past 383 cid for street and mild strip use . as for a hyraulic roller cam you can get a short valving roller lifter that will let you just about go as far in RPM as a solid roller. if planed out rigth you will never see the rpm anyways
