With that small of a cam I would use a 180cc intake runner head with 2.02 intake valve size and 1.60 on the exhauste. You did not talk about the compression ratio,but, 9.5:1 on iron heads or 10:1 on aluminum heads with a 36 deg. total advance on the timing should run great on super unleaded.

I would recomend a set of summitracing heads #sum-152123 for a budget build or a set of dart iron eagle heads if price is not a factor.For the intake a summit stage 2 or a weiand stealth manifold,a holley 600cfm vacuum secondary carb.,and 3.73 gears.
