L98 to LT1
Hey Everyone, looking for a little advice. I am pulling off my tpi and heads and replacing them with LT1 heads (ported) and intake. I have the mod done for the reverse cooling issue. The engine will be a stock bore roller block. I am looking at the melling cam and here are the numbers. 220 intake 231 exhaust at.050, SAE specs at .06 are 304 intake 287 exhaust. Cam lift .312/.320. Gross valve lift .468/.480. Centerline 106/114.
I am probably gonna run around a 2400 stall with about a 3.73 gear. Long tube Hedman Headers with a free flowing exhaust.
Does it seem that this cam will work well with this setup?
Many Thanks

What I am trying to copy is an article on Super Chevy where they built a sbc roller engine for a thousand bucks and got around 400hp at the crank. I am already at that cost and I haven't even started to put my engine back together.
Wish me luck.
Thanks
