Good luck with your build.
Considering the extra cubes 428vs 482, I'm thinking that cam is too mild.

Many 482s run cams are in the 250s range (I know of some in the 260 range). If I was building a mild 482 I'd consider cams in the 240 range with a relatively wide lsa (110-112). That way the engine can at least breath easy, across its entire rev range.

Others are better placed to advise, but 224 with 482 cubes I've not seen or heard of. Imho You're really hamstringing that engine with such a small cam. Even from a conservative point of view.
