George PAdmin.

I've known of motors built with that camshaft (A341) making about 350 to 390 BHP with peak power occurring at 5600 to 6000 RPM. The differences were due to heads (2V/4V), compression, induction and exhaust.

Its a decent street cam, it gives the engine a rumpety idle, and the engine will have good drivability above idle. The cam has a reputation for causing the power band to flatten out by 6000 rpm. Advancing the cam by several degrees will help the high rpm a bit and improve idle and low rpm too.

There's nothing in your parts list that would make me conclude this engine couldn't be driven for 100,000 miles.
