big pblock, big truck, some cam ?'s

[greywuuf]

Hey all,
I am rebuilding/replacing the engine in my C60.
It is tall deck truck block, the 427 kind. I ended up with a brand new short block, sans cam. I have the original small port small valve truck heads, recconditioned and ready to go on, no port work, no trick springs....stock (for the truck) valve size.

Obviously this is a big heavy truck, but it won't be asked to do really heavy truck stuff. More like a recreational tow rig, or a one ton pickup, (as compared to say a dump truck) anyway, it will keep its stock manifold and big Q jet, and its big cast iron exhausts, but will get true dual exhaust. With a big double disk clutch and its small valves I am not building a race motor. But I would like decent runner that's sounds healthy and gives me my best shot of being a good match for the combo. I don't know how the stock cam performed or how it was specced or if I can even still get one. I also don't know how much lift this head/spring combo will accept. Would a small after market hydraulic roller be suitable?


Got any recommendations or words of advice?
Thanks,
Dan
