    Yes,that will work well with a 598.
    If we talk about camshafts you will get even more answer's.
    I would look at roller cams in the 255 to 260 area at .050 on the intake and 260 to 268 on the exhaust side and .675 to .700 lift.
    I would also have it ground on 110 or 112 L/S.
    This should make good power until the 6,800 rpm area.

    I dont want 565, yea you are right I'm gonna build a 632 10:1cr with sleeper cam thats gonna be wonderfull.

    I'm gonna call lunati and get the crank and call dart and get the block .

    since i got the heads i dont need to worry.

    what about the intake? I got a dart 4500 series and edelbrock Vic. dominator and edelbrock performer RPM Air Gap can I use anyone of those?
