gen 1 350 suggestions?

I currently have my 350 4 bolt 1024388c lower end at the machine shop being redone.The 350 is being bored 30 over ,crank being polished, new flat top hypereutic pistons,all new bearings installed,new double roller chain,high volume oil pump,reusing i beam rods.and cam to be determined when I choose some heads.I have a $580 credit thru summit so I figure I would by some heads from them.I was looking at either summit brand 64cc vortec or there 67cc fulie style head? Which one would be better? and any suggestions on an intake and carb setup would be great.

Re: gen 1 350 suggestions?

Vortecs are lightyears better than something based on the 40yo+ Fuellies. Of the two, get the Vortecs. Have you looked at the Dart Iron Eagles? They are a very good head for a pretty good price.

If you go with Vortecs, I'd suggest the Weiand Stealth #8151 or #8502 (air gap) intake manifold and a Holley 4777 double pumper or 3310 vacuum secondary carb.
