Looks like a good combo to me.
In my opinion the E303 cam is would be a good carburetor cam. It has a 110 degree lobe separation angle like many "carb cams". A typical oem 'EFI cam" would have 114-115 degree or greater lobe separation angle. A wide lobe separation angle is great for keeping the engine computer happy, but not so good for max power. So I think the E303 is good for a carb'ed motor.
Again, in my opinion, anything you spend improving the cylinder heads will be well worth it. That could mean getting your GT40's ported or getting some really good aftermarket heads instead. It's really hard to overestimate the impact of the cylinder heads, even on a mild engine.
