looks like a nice build, but I would definitely rethink what you have planned on the torque convertor front.
I had a similar build to yours, just a hair more compression( 11.5 ish) Saw a lot of street use, and more than one 70 mile round trip jaunt to the track. Used an 8 inch convertor that flashed about 4800 with a comp flat tappet cam..107 lsa, installed at 104 260/266@50, 598/623 with 1.6 rockers. Dwayne Porter specc'ed the cam, was a comp. 10.70's at 3400 pounds,with exhaust, fun general purpose build. Eddies, tti 1 5/8 to 1 3/4 step headers, weiand excellerator, 1025 race demon 4150 style carb, 416 cubes. Ross pistons and eagle rods,727, 4.10 gears.
69 Dart GTS A4 Silver All steel, flat factory hood, 3360race weight 418 BPE factory replacement headed stroker, 565 lift solid cam Best so far, 10.40 @127 1/4 1.41 best 60 foot 6.60 at 103.90 1/8

Great advice guys, the converter is currently in the car. Can defiantly change it out during the engine swap. was your car a little too much on the street? my car will see 90% street action, so i don't want to get crazy with the cam, converter and rear gear.
Probably 70/30 strip street. Even a 4.10 type gear at 60 mph ish with a 28 inch tire runs 3000-3200 or so, paying attention with convertor choice. That isn't gonna hurt anything. The cam I ran used ultra mild spring pressures, could put thousands of miles on such a setup. Even an 8 inch convertor with good tranny pan and. cooler should live just fine. You have a lot of nice parts there and wanting heads ported. Why saddle the combo to run 12's when it can runs 10's 90% as reliably.

Thanks for all the good info! I talked to bob at MCH and he will be CNC porting the heads. i'm going to take your advice on the cam and go with a hyd roller and a converter change. I will give you guys an update after we dyno the motor...

My 410 stroker has a comp XR286R cam in it and Edelbrock heads ported by Ryan Johnson at Shadydell Speed Shop. My car is street/strip, 3200#'s, pump gas, 10.8:1 compression, 8" converter, and runs 6.70's in the 1/8 (mid 10's in the 1/4). Current times in sig below.
I like this cam because it is easy on parts and makes good power.
67 Barracuda street car, 408, e85, 1.38 60', 6.44 @105.9 in the 1/8 mile, 10.19 @130.5 in the 1/4...so far....
