I thought the carb would be calibrated for the engine, nope. Just off the shelf carb, same with the HEI. Swapped it out also so I could get more initial timing without going over advanced at higher RPM.

The cam has a 108 LSA which gives it great low end with out sacrificing upper HP.
As long as you don't mind bumpy idle your golden. I do agree, go with a roller cam for reliability
What did you end up putting on it for a carb? I was planning on the 350/357 base for my project but i am having a hard time deciding whether to put an Edelbrock Proflo4 on it or a carb?
