I'd get a 'big' roller cam and use some good springs.
I looked for some Ultradyne etc cams, seems most aren't made anymore or not advertised.
Probably try SD Performance.
I ran a Comp Cam like what HO Racing ran in their SS TA.
Had something like .720" lift at 104º LSA.
Used CC 999 springs also.
That was with the flat top stock pistons.
That engine was wicked.
I also used 2" headers (JR Headers).
It would idle and run great, did run a 4000 RPM stall converter.
Personally, if cam doesn't have at least .600" lift I wouldn't mess with it.
The SD heads want to breathe!
(I also used the Torker I but the aluminum intake you have would probably work good. I did use a 3" spacer on my intake which helped a bunch)
