I appreciate your stand on the the parts. All too often people only purchased based on price without concern or understand on the big picture.
For a street car 450+ cid is fine. 10.5-1 would be the a great ratio and still allow a power adder should desire to go down that road as well. Because this will be an E-85 build, discuss this with whom ever you are getting parts. If does make a difference in many things. Cams specifically, an E-85 cam will be different for pump gas. Also E-85 has good resistance to detonation but can be susceptible to pre-ignition. Keep the plugs cold and NO projected tips.
If you need more help........
