Kind of strange intake fitment problem...

Here are the specs they emailed me for the cam regrind:
Adv Duration = 278/285
Duration @ .050 = 245/252
lift with 1.5 ratio = .604/.600
lobe separation = 108
intake centerline = 104
Glad to hear Bullet makes some good cams! His suggestion was right on the dot with what I wanted.

I got the big ol Crane back when I was going to run my Indy heads, but I decided all of that was a little overkill for my goals. So, I got the Edelbrocks and re-thought my top end with a lot less budget in mind. My heads will flow at least as good as the stock Edelbrocks, I hope lol.

When I got the cam recommendation, I told them I was hoping to have about 33-3500 stall, 3.55 or 3.73 gears, and a 26-27 inch tire. I thought the cam specs he gave me would compliment the already-built shortblock and my intake/heads/headers well. Does it sound like it will work well to you guys?

I've used similar specs on a hydraulic roller with less overall lift, more overall duration, but similar .050 duration numbers. I'd expect it will idle under 1000 pretty well and it won't run power brakes. But, you don't have to worry about "soft" low end... Not until you start really exceeding the 260° @ .050 number will you have any problems with low end. If you build with quench, set the static around 11:1 and .035 or less quench you will love it. Typically the 4" strokes like a 3.23 or 3.55 gear, and you will want a tight convertor, something close to 2500 with those small tires. Peak torque comes on quick so a convertor that's much higher you're just wasting fuel and generating heat unless you're doing 70mph in 3rd.
