You didn't give me the Intake Valve Centerline (ICL). I simulated it using 106 degrees as the ICL. It's not a bad cam. it's very similar to the 275DEH and just a tad better. It won't give you a lot of torque at low RPM, but it should be plenty for a driver at 339 ft-lbs@2000 RPM. The peak torque is 396@4000 RPM, while the peak HP is 363@5500 RPM. The overlap is 59 degrees, and should have a noticable lope, with enough vacuum for power brakes.

theses clevors due to valve size love a double profile camshaft like the xe274h camshaft has and its under the same rpm range you are having with the lunnati cam, the milling of the heads to raise your cr will better your low end torque due to the fact that with any of these camshafts you will be running a low dcr with 9:1 scr, so getting 9.4:1 with your heads milled will not only improve your torque but will give you better gas millage and still be able to run pump gas....
just my opinion

I'd use exactly what you've listed, and CHANGE THE GEARS TO 4.10. If money is no object, try one of the Mallory Max-Fire distributors. You can custom curve it with a laptop computer, either in or out of the truck.

If you mill the heads, you will need shorter pushrods, or adjustable rockers. Some roller rockers need to have the pedastals milled. Tim Meyer sell Scorpion pedastal mount roller rockers. I think that there is an adjustable verson available.
