Well, the O Ring heads are great for NOS, but the 107 cam, while it will work with NOS, is by no means representative of a motor built to run on NOS. A NOS cam would be more in the 112 to 115 range of lobe center cam. With that said I run a 106 lobe center cam in my street racer but I built it to run on motor first, spray second. And it does run on the spray pretty good.
As for driving this motor on the street, you will not be able to run it on pump gas, so the compression needs to go. Also, that is a LOT of cam in that little motor. My 406 in my street racer runs a huge cam and it is only 271 / 279, and the motor is 15% larger so it swallows that cam much better. So long story short, your pistons and cam away from a street motor. Probably a balance job also unless you can find a set of flat tops with close to the same weight as the pop ups in it now, which may be difficult as there is going to be a lot less piston material in the flat tops, making them lighter. However different manufacturers make their pistons different, and some weigh more or less then others. The cam is no big deal, a few hundred bucks and a intake gasket set and your ready. but at the end of the day but the time you detune this thing into a nice street motor, your going to have a 400HP motor at best.
If it were me though, I would try to sell this motor and buy Jakes 383 for sale on the board here. That is a nice little street motor
