I have 4.11's in the axle already.

Pretty set on the cam but i can be swayed..

I was going to purchase the kit last night but decided to sleep on it. Glad I did.

If I bought the cam separately...
What lifters would any of you recommend?
And what springs and hardware would you go with for ease of installation?

I want it to flow nice. Im currently hunting an m1 intake for the quadrajet (love the sound of the secondaries) .The engine is on a stand.

Heads are going to a friends place who will do the port and polish. But then I will need to find someone to do a valve job and install springs retainers and what have you.

Stock bottom end. Just want the top to flow nice.
Will choose whatever stall converter goes with the cam i get.

Thanks for all the responses. Appreciate it.

Is this going back in the 3/4 ton truck? Johnson makes good lifters, some like Lunati (never had issues with them), and I have no problem with the Rhoades lifters I've used. Like PRH said, it's going to depend on what the current valves are and if there are rotators or not. If this is going in anything heavy, I would stay away from an M1 and this camshaft. You might want to look at a cam with smaller duration and a nice dual plane intake. The stock bottom end is going to hinder you too. There's not really enough compression in the stock bottom end for this camshaft. I just don't want you to spend all of this time and money to have a pooch that doesn't perform like it should. If you're staying with the stock bottom end, I would stay with closer to stock parts (cam, intake, etc.).
