I would rethink the Performer intake and 600 E-carb choice though, that small-runner intake and small-CFM carb pretty much chokes off the horsepower potential of a 400 (now a 461?) stroker combo. The E-carbs are hard or impossible to tune out the bog when transitioning to the secondaries, they are not adjustable like the Q-jet is.

Edelbrock matches the 7157 Performer RPM cam with the RPM intake. Even the factory iron Q-jet intake is a much better choice than the Performer which is really better suited to stock 400 and smaller engines.

Just calling it like it see it.

Good luck Paul.
