360 build

I agree with those who say "just do it". It's one of those "you can't really lose" combos.
However; I recommend that you calculate your exact compression ratio. That stock 360 cam,IIRC, is a long-ramp 252/112 design, and so the installed Ica could be just 54*(@.008tappet lift) . The Wallace calculator says you should be fine at up to 9/1 Scr @ sealevel, so you should be fine; still, you gotta know, to prevent your cylinder pressure from sending your combo into detonation.
With open-chamber heads, you also need to consider the loss of squish, and you may need to target .080or more, piston to head clearance, which also shouldn't be a problem.

I would assemble that in a heartbeat, with a matching small-port intake; it can be a dynomite combo for the right application. ........ as long as you take care of the detonation issue. You may like it so much that you will want to never change it.
For this application, you need the air to be as dense as is possible, and the exhaust system will need to make it as easy as possible to get rid of the spent gasses, thus at least, not costing you power. That 360 2bbl cam has very little overlap, so headers are not gonna make much power thru the "Fifth cycle"; nevertheless, they will make some additional torque for you, over logs.
So; I know this is maybe gonna sound strange, but I highly recommend long-tube headers, or at least HP-type manifolds, and a free-flowing exhaust,together with
fresh cold air to the carb. In your case, being in Texas, "cold" is relative,lol; but air from not under the hood is gonna go a long ways in making this combo work. Underhood air can be a minimum of say 200* with a fully warmed up engine, to more like 300*/400* with unwrapped headers at WOT. Versus 80 to 110* ish for "RamAir".

Happy HotRodding.

Btw; a 2800stall will really wake this combo up.
