I think you will be alright with the cam .
Should be a nice street car...
Good luck with it ...

I do already have head studs, since I didn't originally build this engine I don't know if it has main studs. I'll add it to the list.
Charlie do you have a ring pack suggestion?
What about hard blocking and a conversion to 4 bolt main caps. I'm assuming if the block isn't pre-drilled for 4 bolt mains, I should do a splayed cap?
