Try a comp cams 280 or 292 magnum.With your comp ratio and intake this will be a good match for 5k-5500rpm.Get the proper springs too.I ran this similar set up in my 71 camaro bbc 396 car ran 12.20s@108.I would consider this a reliable set up too.This was my only exp with bbcs as my current boat motor is an 11-1 bbf 429 with similar cam specs too but i am running a b+ impeller to get the motor to the upper rpm range.head porting is on the way.

call comp cams they will sugest combos to you, tell them its a BOAT not a car they might want to know the weight of the boat also,comp cams are good i had a close combo of 77 charger in my 701/2 Z28 rally sport didnt loose much had a great kakle in one month got pulled over 14 times in the city of orange and not one ticket but i had dust on the plates one of the two lites above the plates were out so dont drive your boat in orange just a warning-o-ya try to off the 750 and get a 850 dbbl pump---nasty

nasty's right, give comp cams a call and they'll give you the scoop on what you need.
