Default Cam question

looking at building a budget 5.3 out of random parts around the shop. 5.3 862's, ls6 intake, th400,deka 80,ms3 e85. 76-8mm?? (Only big part i don't have). Goal is 550min to tire.

Question and/or advise. And consider this is a throw together job.

I have a cam thats so old can't remember what it is. I believe it to be 224/224 .581.581 112 via searching. Goal is for me and daughter to go pound on it around town.

I know its a little narrow for turbo but thoughts on using it? Don't know if its worth the trouble to try to sell and locate another. Figured it might drive good on bottom end but will top end suffer? My fi knowledge is limited and this will be first real dabble.

Thanks for input!!
