For 350fwhp, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-162108/ or similar, edelbrock TBI performer intake or similar and comp cam 8-500-8 or similar, should be decent.
With Trick flow 195 heads, roller cam around 220-230 duration with around .520 lift and single plane intake, should get around 400-450fwhp.
To get a better idea, could download camquest6 and get a dyno symulator, wery helpful.

Did you try the search function?

The L98 heads (TPI) end with 083, according to the post on TGO the 217 heads you have should be better, thogh will probably require some serious work to make 350-400 hp
