Chances of someone knowing first hand are not so great without it being a popular off shelf grind, either way you need to check PTV regardless.

You will most likely have to flycut valve relief into the pistons with that cam.

Good specs for that combo, though.

There are a few guys on here running that same longblock, same 239/247 .624 specs LSL lobes, slightly tighter 110+4, and really hauling the mail with a simple combo.

3700lbs 10.77 @ 125 68 Chevelle, mufflers, 200r4

I just put this cam in my stock headed 98 LS1, but mine is on a 109 LSA with 2 degrees advanced cut in, no flycutting.
