If it was me.. I'd run something like a 224/228 with comp XER lobes and 918 springs with the truck intake and your current heads milled down a bit. I'd set the intake center to get close to 8.5-1 dynamic compression and run about 10* of overlap. If you need real specs let me know.

This would work great with a stock verter in an 80E.. how do I know?? I once had this set up in my truck with the 80e only it was a Ls1 block with stock LS6 heads. With a stock verter, I was keeping up with a high 12 second F-body at 3,900lbs.
