Cliff : Thanks so much for the valuable input. I'll sure take your experience /advice to heart on my build. To accomplish my goals with the engine ,I want to do it as right as possible the first time . I'd much rather spend my time dialing in the carb ,than hunting engine problems. I will certainly contact you for carb parts /and further advice .
 Thanks ,

lightning boy:
Your block will accept a roller cam. The factory L98 cam was in 88 corvettes and would be a good fit. Its on a 114 LSA if I remember correctly.

Turbo26T:
Actually ,this is not a roller block  it's an early 2 piece rear seal.. Would have to use expensive retro rollers..
 This block has already been machined and pistons fitted. So, thats what I'm going to use. If I find an "880" factory roller block ,then I'll consider going roller

If you can get it to 9.5 or 10 to 1 compression,  I would go with the 3896962 GM cam. It is the L46/L82 cam. Yeah it seemed lazy in the original L82s but they were low compression with poor flowing heads. I put together a 9.5:1 350 with vortecs and the GM marine vortec intake and that cam. It is still under the vortecs .480ish lift limit for uncut valve guides. It worked great in a v8 swapped 98 s10. A 2800# model A would move alright with it, and easy to tune because it is a factory cam.  Someone may correct me but it would be my choice for a "carshow cruiser".
