old Vette double point distributor (remember this was 1969) Later changed to a Sanderson mag
350 cube 350 hp L82 GM cam p/n 3896962 (best little cam EVER for a 283!)
flat top pistons / two valve reliefs
old style Rochester 4-jet carb for a 327
set of Headman full length headers
I raced this car HARD & never blew it! I later changed to a two four setup w/ double hump heads & lost all of the low end power, keep the power packs!
Cam will give a slight "lumpy" idle, not bad like the old 327 / 350 hp "151" cam will.
