How well it wil run will depend on a few other factors, like gearing and weight.

Problebly a little sluggish.. Cam would rather have 3.73 / 4.10 gears and 10 inch 3500 stall...

What kind of exhaust/ headers are you running?

Those heads are huge. I would not use them on a 350. Cam needs gears and converter.
