I'm building a similar combo but with 9.5:1 compression, 750 Quadra-Jet, and the XE268 cam.

A 600CFM carb is a bit small unless you want best fuel economy. With lots of cams to select from, it is a tough choice to make. Check out the Summit 2801/Wolverine WG1169/Indian Adventures 60550, Nunzi 2041, Comp Cams, or the Ultradyne grinds. The Pontiac 9779068 with 1.65 rockers is good too.
