sounds like the combo is a little mismatched. what heads, what cam specs, what trans, what rear gear, what carb? etc etc. you left out a lot there.

Sorry to split hairs, but no 350 block can take a 3-tenths inch overbore.

.030", yes.

.30", NO!

that's a big cam. high rpm motor.

edelbrock performer manifold is more low end. shorty headers, more low end. hence, slightly mismatched.


should run fine, given that much info.... pretty lumpy though.

idle to 5500 is a low rpm intake. the victor jr. which would be better suited for that cam is 3000-7500 rpm suggested range since it has such a large duration. also I hope the heads you're running will flow enough to have that cam be worthwhile. Also you'll need big/steep rear gears to get that cam into a happy RPM range to drive it.
