project 1985 trans am

well i tried to sell this car at first but no body wanted it and i have had a change of heart and am going to do what i said i was going to do a long time ago. was a 305 carb with 700r4 posi rear 2500 stall converter. but the future is a 350 longtubes heads and cam shift kit 3500 rpm stall ford 9 rearend aluminum driveshaft and adjustable torque arm. i am getting the 350 this weekend found one on ebay needs an intake heads and card.this is the cam that is in the engine http://store.summitracing.com/partde...3&view=1&N=700+ if you guys have any suggestions on heads and intake just tell me oh and what color to paint it .
ps. i only paid 1200 and got a parts car with it (all parts are off of parts car now) bought in alabama and it ran for 2 days then all hell broke loose

Re: project 1985 trans am

better bump up the compression on that 350 or that cam is not going to wake up till 5K rpms. I would recommend some heads that are 180cc i personally like darts since they are fairly affordable and produce pretty good power.
