Perhaps you could indicate the type of use that this car/engine will receive. Looks like a serious build and you might think of posting it in the race section. .540" lift ... that's kinda huge for the street. In addition, you might want to list the type of trans, converter (if auto) and rear axle ratio. 6,000 RPM is too much for stock rods per Mr. Hand. 5,800 would be the max for longevity. If you plan on driving the car on the street I'd probably go with a different cam. If you plan on using it on the strip much and want to take advantage of that 6,000 RPM then you might consider aftermarket rods.
Cliff Ruggles recommends the Crower 60916 with HS 1.65 ratio rockers in a high compression 400 in several of his posts.
My two cents contributed.
