Back to the OP. Cheapest way to go would be the Elgin cam. ELGE904PMDL

Virtually identical to the LT-1 camshaft.

You are going to be right on the edge of detonation.

If you are planning to disassemble the short block anyway, and you want to have a little hedge against detonation, you could have .010 cut off the tops of the pistons. Would actually help turbulence a bit. You would want to have the rotating assy balanced, but I do that on every engine build. Cheap insurance.

If you are wanting to go roller, call Chris Straub at Straub technologies. He is on the cutting edge of camshaft technology for old school SBC engines.
