Wicked;


If you plan to stay at or below 6000 rpms,stock rods will be fine,I polished and balanced my rods and had them resized and had ARP rods bolts installed,21,000 miles later and plenty of 5500 to 6000 rpm shifts and it's still all together.....With the heads and cam you are talking about using I think you would easily get between 400 and 425 hp (very possibly more)and have a streetable engine.... I'd also go with no bigger than a 650 double pumper.....I have tried no less than five carbs on my 351-W,350 hp engine and have found the best for my combo is the 15 year old Holley 600 double pumper on it now,the worst was a 750 Da Vinci stage 2 carb (way too much carb for the motor).....Holley's formula rpm x cu in divided by 3456 would equate to a 621 cfm carb for your motor with a .030 bore and using 6000 rpms as max,assuming it is 100 % effeciant,which it will not be,so a 650 should be just right....All your other parts listed are top notch parts and should give you a very dependable,powerful engine....
