....With the trans/rear gear combo you want to use, I think a nice 300 to 350hp/302 with about 10 to 1 compression and a camshaft in the low 500 lift range and 280 duration range would make a really nice engine with good low end torque and still run up in the 6500rpm range when you want to put your foot in it,all the while doing it on pump gas.....
High revving screamers have little bottom end and poor idle/street manners,which is where your spend 90% of your time driving....
Again, just my 2 cents for what it's worth........

Thanks David, for more of the real world comments.
Can you tell me why you decided on flat tappets?
Cheers,
