350 build advice
I just got my hands on a 1984 T/A. Its my new project and has absolutely no rust (a miracle in Minnesota). Im told it has a 350 out of a 79 Camaro. It runs well, needs headers. I'm wanting to build the motor up a bit. Nothing insane as its just a driver and will never see track time. I'm thinking of a Vortec head swap with a mild cam and some good exhaust. I'm aiming for the mid 300s range horse wise. What are your guys' opinions? Also, what set of headers would work/fit well with the Vortec heads in these F-bodies?

Hedman Headers offers a 1 and 5/8" Primary with 3" collector header that works well for under 400 Ft/ Lbs average Torque on a 350 CID Engine.
