No, on the intake. Ford made a few experimental ones but you won't find one. Lunati makes a Voodoo line of cams that idle pretty good. I'd do a good port and polish on the heads. Get a set of TMI's zero deck pistons to get the compression up & get it balanced. You are going to have to do a good engine build if you want to win, there are bound to be competitors there that have already built some strong stock looking engines.
