I would look for something around the Edelbrock Performer cam and the matching Performer intake. The cam I would buy new, the intake used, IF you find one not cracked and the threads in the holes aren't striped. Hard to look at a used cam and see if it's trashed.
Curious as to why you would want to lower the compression on the "hump heads"? Kinda defeats the purpose of a head swap, unless you have broken parts, and 9.0:1 will still run fine on pump gas.
What size is the carb you plan to use? Any bigger than 600 cfm is too big and will also defeat the purpose of swapping all these parts. Just say'n...
Haven't crossed referenced the Summit cam w/ the edelbrock cam, but if the lift and duration @ .050" are close, should work fine with the performer (or equal) intake.
