Sounds like it should be fun, go easy on that transmission! I did the Mercruiser camshaft swap with the adjustable rocker arm kit on my 454 in the 99 Burb and now my trans is slipping. It has 152 on it and I haven't touched it since around 100k so I'm guessing it is about due. I'm guessing you have a 350 that had the crappy spider injector. Did you go with the marine intake manifold for the conversion?

Yes, the injectors looked horrible. They were the poppet style. I have the stock intake. It is going to be like a different truck.

Great news Jake. Sounds like a trip to Latrobe will break it in properly.
