okay so im swapping an lq4 6.0 into my 88 monte ss and this is my plan for the motor:

stock LQ4 6.0 bottom end
stock 243 heads with PAC .650 lift beehive springs
.040" thick headgaskets
texas speed MS3 cam (not sure what i should run for an LSA though?)
LS1 intake and throttle body
Hedman 1 7/8" primary longtube headers

now here are my questions

could this make 425-ish rwhp through my RMVB th350 with 3600stall converter?

and could it push my monte to 11.50-60's in the 1/4 if i could get a 1.5-1.6 60ft? the trans does have a transbrake in it

the car weighs about 33-3400 and will have a 12 bolt with 4.10's running 275/50r15 m/t et street radials

also does anybody know what length pushrods i would have to run?

should i go with the MS3 cam? or do you guys have any better suggestions?

and finally what will my compression ratio be with a 100% stock bottom end, 100% stock 243's and .040" HG's?

thanks for the help guys
