WTB: Heads, headers, or both, or a cam

Nothing big on the heads, just like vortec or something good. I have a carburated 350 with stock shitty heads, just need something that will give me 20 extra HP. Also want some headers, all used please, i don't have a bucket load of cash but will hopefully have enough. if anyone has a camshaft with good specs (they don't have to be too crazy) post about it if you would, i got this kid who dropped a 350 in his maro and a comp cam and thinks its hot ****, i have to make sure i can beat him
thanks

Re: WTB: Heads, headers, or both, or a cam

the lifters are the main difference you could check your casting numbers on your block and find out

Re: WTB: Heads, headers, or both, or a cam

I have a crane cam and hyrdrolic retrofit lifters that I'm not going to use any more. They would work with your block and give you the benefit of a roller cam. The parts are at the machinist cause I was going to use them but decided to go with a custom grind and comp type R lifters. If your interested I can get the number off the cam and some pics.

Re: WTB: Heads, headers, or both, or a cam

Iv got a cam that was in my motor when it was mostly stock.
I had a shop build me a mild 350 to put in my 85 camaro when I was 17.

It was a 350 4 bolt mains with 76ccheads performer intake 600 edelbrock and shortie headers. The mystery cam the shop put in really helped out because I ran high 13's with that setup and it idled pretty nice with a slight lope to it.

I pulled the cam with the matching lifters out to go all out with my motor after only 3k miles on that motor.

If your interested I would take 30 bucks for the cam and lifters plus shipping. And if your not satisfied ill refund you the money! PM me
