With those rear gears I would set up the heads to take 1.65 rockers and run the 068 cam or something close that would have the lift of the 1.65/ 068 combo with just running 1.5 rockers.
A 400 cid motor even with a stock 066 or 067 cam really needs 3.55 gears if the car weights in at over 3500 lbs.
the gears will make the car perform far better than the bigger cam and 2.90s can dish out below 4000 rpm!
