Well, that depends on what RPM range you want to operate in, and whether you want to go with ratio rockers or 1.1's. What do you want it to do? Choose your heads and your cam together.

Be prepared to notch your camshaft with I-beam rods. I am putting together a 2110cc with Scat I beams (similar to yours) and had to notch the cam rather severely. Looks like the end of a set of Lincoln Logs now. (for those of you thats old enough to remember them). Had always used H beams before with no problems. Used a new CB super case and had to do some clearancing beyond what they had done in the roof of the case too.
Camshaft, I'm using an Engle FK 7 and Scat 1:4's on this engine and CB 044 heads w/40 x 35.5 valves. Dual 44 IDFs for induction. Will see how it runs when finished. Going in a customers '69 Baja.
Good luck.......

The reason we are having to clearance cams now days is because scat changed to a larger rod bolt thereby increasing the meat at the end of the rod. (per scat)
