If you go w/ different rockers, try to find some roller rockers. An intake w/ long runners help build low end torque too.

Nope, it's a 300.
There is no timing chain, it's gear drive. I intend to change those gears eventually, as time/money permit. They wear and make annoying clanking noises, which is why I have 4 of these motors apart in the barn. (Grandfather loved 300's, hated clanking noises.)
I'll have to get my fingers on a cam gear set and count the teeth, I might be able to just move the cam forward one tooth without adjustables and see what that does. It's not too hard to set it.
Have you ever seen the intake on the 300's? It's not
really long, but it's fairly long runner. And it's basically integrated w/ the exhaust manifolds, except on the EFI models, which have a loose approximation of a cast-iron tubular header on them, two 3-1's.
