sounds like a nice combo, just beware the "most of the time" a hydro roller in a BBC "should" limit the rpm capabilty to max 6,000 rpm. I would prefer a solid flat tappet, but with 700horse, who can complain! Sounds like a good motor, not exactly what I would build but seems to fit you bill perfect. One other thing is that that cam is preety mild for a 540, If you are looking for something with a somehwat nasty sound that cam might not make for the raspiest motor. However I might just be over nit-picking. I am sure it will more than overkill. Let us know what you decide!
(p.s) the cam I have in my 454 is
256/[email protected] 290/294, .680 lift solid roller, the idle actually is pretty tame, I think that is because it is a roller.
