Cam for a 318

Here's what I've thought about doing to the 318. 600 cfm eddy, performer rpm intake, speedmaster cylinder heads with 170cc intake runner's with 1.88 / 1.600 valve's with a comp valve job and back cut the valve's. KB pistons at zero deck, machine shop recommends cutting the deck surface of 0.010" for the new heads. 0.039" headgasket, putting this information into a compression ratio calculator and it gives a 9.40:1 cr. What cam and converter would you recommend for my combination? Gear ratio would be 3.55. Am I going in the right direction for what I'm wanting to do? Back in the day we all had cams, 4 barrel carburetor and headers and we thought that we had race cars. I'm wanting the combination to work together for the build. Thanks


You’ll be cutting more than .010 off the deck to get it to zero. Is there a SM head with a 1.88 valve? It’s hard to go down that far in valve size and get the valve job right.
