.480/230 cam in an 8.5 CR 360?

It's a young rebuild so why did you tear it down...

Advance the cam, throw as much initial timing that it will take, a duel plane int. would be a must and the shortest tires that still look decent.

At least it will drivable and sure sound good. :)

I bought a truck with this motor in it. Pulled it out around '03, stole the rebuilt 587 heads for another car, then ended up putting some well-used 915s on it. Stuck it in my '65 around 2010, without ever looking at the short block. I wanted to know what i was dealing with, and I have too much spare time right now...
I'm running 295 50/15s, and it has a performer intake (for now) with a 600 Edelbrock AFB. And yes, it does sound pretty decent.
