second Q what cam would yall suggest?
Would putting performance heads from like a cleveland be worth it? or just get stock cleveland heads and have them milled down a little for higher compression?

You need adapter plates ($$) to use 4V Cleveland heads.
You are better off with a set of Aussie iron heads, or for a little more money a set of Edelbrock Aluminum heads or better yet CHI heads.

Stock heads are OK, but you should get a set of flat-top pistons (No Dish) to get the compression ratio up.

How much we talking for either the Aussie's or the adapter plates for the 4v Cleveland heads?
what about do both pistons and heads?
cuz i think it would be way cool to keep the original block in there otherwise id just drop a 460 in. lol
thanks for ur help so far!!!

BTW for reference do NOT try to run the aussie heads with flat top pistons. Your compression ratio will be way to high for pump gas.
I don't remember the exact valve relief on Tim's pistons without looking but the aussie heads are 59cc and on a .030 overbore 400 even leaving the piston down .010 with an 8cc valve relief your at 11.75:1
