Here's what I have:
sbc 400 (509 Block 2bolt main)
fresh bore(.030) and hone
flat top srp pistons
6" rods
callies stealth crank Shaft.
I the opportunity to get a new crane cam PN: CC-320A-NC for super cheap. Description from Jegz says RPM 5000-8600; Adv. Dur. 320 Int./Exh.; Valve Lift .599 Int./Exh.; Lobe Angle 108 deg.; Jegz part number 114721
I also have access to a weiand team-g single pane intake.
What Heads should I go with this set up? Should I find a different cam? Different Intake?

Stick with something in the 268- 274 range for street torque and fun at the stop lights....you need the power to start coming in below 2,000 rpm.

A duel plane will work best and stay under the hood.
2.02 or 2.05 aluminum heads with 68cc chamber will be a nice fit too..
Cam, I would try to stay under .220 duration @0.50 for street ability!
I hope you changed out your main bolts for ARP studs on that 2 bolt main???

I was talking advertised duration like the OP posted... and the 400 2 bolt has been known to hold up better than the 4 bolt. Not that the studs won't help.
