Re: Cam/head/rocker combo question.

Those heads are MONDO HUGE for a 350 on the street.

Best street results are obtained with something between 170 and 200 cc intake ports.

A known good cheeeep eeeezy combo is the upgraded Vortec heads (such as from SDPC), Comp XE274 cam, and Performer RPM manifold. You WILL need a 750 CFM carb, preferably a Holley DP. 1.5 roller rockers would be fine, preferably steel (Comp or Crower, NOT the cheeep chinese knock-off junk you see on eBay, like CAT).
