I'm no expert either but I would check those cam specs up against some other marine cams and see if the duration and overlap are good for a marine application. Mabe contact one of the cam guys here on OSO. I might also consider using the Edelbrock carb to go with that intake. Just some thoughts. I know marine cams are different designed than cars.
