I am currently in the process of building my new motor for my 71 C10 longbed. The setup that I currently have is as follows:
-Dart SHP block with splayed caps
-Scat Excalibur forged crank
-Scat H beam rods
-Wiseco Forged -9.5cc pistons
-AFR 220 heads with 65cc chambers(race ready)
-MSD 6AL(set at 7000rpm limiter)

Truck has:
-Ford 8.8 with 4.11 rear gears
-700R4 or 200R4 trans(i have 1 of each and haven't done much research into them yet)

Still need to find a camshaft and an intake so I can finish putting it together and start on my trans. I do plan on do a 100-150 shot of nitrous.

What does everyone recommend for a camshaft and intake manifold for this setup? I'm looking to be right in the 650-700 horsepower range before the nitrous, but if my math works right that setup should be somewhere in the low 600s before nitrous.
