That cam is as big you could go w/what you are looking for,,,but,,,, you need Rhoads lifters to use that cam.
Or go w/a cam of about 210-212 degress duration @ .050,, & not need Rhoads lifters.
Comp cams will grind any specs you want for a cam,just another thought. Like a cam w/a lobe separation of 112 degrees instead of 110,,, to smooth out the idle,a bit more streetable & help bottom end power a tad.
Honestly,I would use the Langdon cast iron header manifolds, less headache,should not get leaks,,will last a lot longer & most likely would not be down much on power as compared to tubular headers.
An Edelbrock 500 CFM 4 bbl carb,less problems,as compared to Holleys. Plus Edlebrock sell a complete tunning kit for that carb also. Metering rods,jets, springs ,etc.
Cyl head,as I stated earlier,& a must get if possible ,, the small chamber 194 head,to raise compression, & lumps & larger valves.
HEI is good.
For the most part,the polishing on cylinder heads is just mainly for cosmetic reasons.
As stated earlier ,you can do these upgrades in stages,,, easier on the wallet.
