Matt, I think the parts you picked are dead on. IIRC, that's pretty much Dirt Reynold's setup on his 400. NJSpeeder, when you say the cam is junk, I don't know if you are referring to the quality of the grind, or the actual cam specs. I've never had a Summit cam, but I've never heard any complaints either. As for the cam specs, they are great for a large displacement small block. These engines can swallow a lot of cam and still be champs down low. Plus, the extra duration on the exhaust side will help out if you're running Vortecs. Double pumper carbs are great but I doubt you'll need it. I would focus on building something that's driver friendly while sacrificing the least amount of power.

PS. It's the right cam. The street/strip version has the same exact specs. It's P/N SUM-1107
