Default LQ4/408 with budget top end?

Well I was planning on getting some decent heads for the top end of my 408, but... I had some medical bills that came up so kinda on a budget to get this motor running. I was thinking of getting some ls6 heads/ls6 intake and a decent cam like a g5x4,t-rex,ms4,polluter or anything in that range. I will have the CR around 11:5.1 to help out also.

Do you guys think it will be a decent runner? I know there is a lot holding back, but down the road when I save up some $$ I will buy a nice set of heads and a FAST intake setup. What do you guys think?

I already have my wiring harness custom made for ls1/ls6 setup so the ls3 way wouldnt really work. Also can't spend the $400+ on a custom cam. Although I did hear good results with that top end, I cant swing that way

Call any vender on here EPS, TSP, Thunder, Futral I think a custom is only
$25 more than a shelf cam. And something in the 238in. and 244ex. or there
abouts will easily get your power level with supporting fuel system
