Question 65 El Camino 327

i have a 65 el camino 327 vette heads after market manifold 670cfm holly crower cam lift is 461/468 i was wondering if i put 1.6 rockers if it will be ok and shouldnt my lift be around 490 after 1.6 rockers? also i was wondering if the car is going to sound better like it had a bigger cam i had a 525 lift cam in my 69 nova and it sounded like a drag car i loved it!!

1.6 Rocker will give you more lift and it will be around 490 lift but it will not sound any different because duration gives you the race cam sound but it will give you more RPM.
