all I have now is a stock motor with a performer intake HEI and an edlebrock??

truck is a 2wd c 10 th350 with 3.08 gears that I'm adding pro streets to and I'm hoping to step up to 3.73 gear..I just wouldn't want to be embarassed with my mouse motor and that look

will my headers bolt up to the heads?? I know the intake is out...
any good cam ideas??

thanx
Jeff

and yea my drream is a caddy/BB but for now...........
Hi Jeff,

Sounds like you are going through the same delima I went through. lol check out my project thread in my sig.

350 Vortec heads are a good place to start if you want good flowing heads cheap. They usually run 400.00 - 550.00 new but you will also need a vortec intake. The headers may need to be different as well because from what I heard the exhaust ports are a little higher than the regular sbc heads. But for a bolt on HP inprovement they are good for 40-50 hp out of the box.

cams are another story.... I downloaded the neat tool from Comp cams website: http://www.compcams.com/camquest/

When I ran my motor combo through this was my printout....


I hope this helps.
