In response to grumpyvette
I've built maybe 1/10 the engines Grumpy has, but I wouldn't exceed 220 duration @.050". Even the old 350hp/327 cam (221/221) was typically used with a 3.73 axle.
In fact I'd probably be looking for something around 210-216 duration. Anything bigger will take away from low-mid RPM torque to make more high RPM horsepower. If this is mainly a street-driven car, your engine will spend most of its time well below 4500 RPM.
Is your deck at .003" or -.003"? At .003" a standard .038" gasket will work. If it's -.003" that would make quench height only .035". I guess that's OK, but a little close for me.
Is axle ratio 3.35 or 3.55?
