Yep, same.

I can't help much on the aluminum block selection as I only collected iron, because of where I used to work/once in a lifetime deals that came along.

There is alot of good information availble from folks here, I got plenty of excellent advice with mine.

One thing that almost got me is, the length of time it takes to get all the air out of the valvetrain. It can cause a little bit of doubt.
It was Exactly like Bob George said it would be, 20 years ago.

Anyway I did a similar combo with less compression and cam than you are talking about, in an iron block with Victor heads. I never had a HP goal but
am hoping for 600-something at the rear wheels. I deliberately left room to grow by not porting the heads, and by starting
with a smaller-than-optimal intake manifold. Fired 4-26-20 and now am getting the car ready.

Good luck in your quest.
