http://www.sdperformance.com/ The rods might be fine resized with ARP rod bolts But I believe its a ticking time bomb on the Squeeze, Good Rods like The Tomahawk forged rods from SD or Eagle H-beams, The TRW are ok but IMO need a Lighter weight pin and use a Good Speed Pro Moly Ring Set, See the lighter the rods/pistons/pins get the Stronger it gets and less stress will be placed on the block, as long as you use decent parts you will be fine, I doubt you will even hit 6000 rpm, Keep compression at 9.5:1 Minumum for 92-93 octane fuel with that cam, a Torquer 2 intake or Performer RPM would be my choice with an 850 Holley Based carb, 1-3/4 Minumum Primary Header, oh And Don't Skimp on the Converter!!! a Continental 3500 stall or Red Neck 3500 would be best for that Cam IMO, Goodluck !
