I was wondering what the best intake manifold, heads, and headers would be for my 350 carb. Any ideas on which parts to get for peak performance?

 

You are most likely going to get a different answer from every person that replies. This is a REALLY general question. It depends on several things, where do you want your rpm range to be, street car or drag car?, worried about ground clearance with LT's?, etc, etc, etc. It would probably be better if you narrowed down your question and maybe posted on the specific board, or if you did a search and looked things up. It would probably be alot more helpful to you in the end, at least it is for me when I do a search.

 

well i want this to be a street legal car. i want the RPM range to be between maybe 2500 and 6500 or so. im not really worried about ground clearance, unless i should be?

 

You should be. Few things suck as hard as spending $600 on a brand-new motor-to-street exhaust system, and then scraping the entire thing off your car the very first time you pull into the driveway. Yes, I've seen it happen.

Do you have a budget? That would impact the choice of heads, particularly. Do you already have the carb and the right distributor?

 

Tonight i just picked up my carb and distributor and i am ready to go now. My budget is as high as the sky. i get about 700 bucks a month from work. So what are THE BEST heads, headers, and intake manifolds that money can buy?

 

Edelbrock Victor Jr. manifold
AFR 210s
Comp Cam mech. roller with like 230* @.050 with like .550"lift
Hooker LTs
Dual 3" exhaust
Street legal, sure
Emissions legal, no

You did say you wanted peak power with an RPM range of 2500-6500!!!

 

im not really worried about emissions becuase mine isnt hooked up, lol. thanks for the ideas on mods. r u sure about the edelbrock victor jr tho? is holley better then edelbrock with the intake manifolds? r is it vice-versa?

 

I think they both make good products. I have used both in the past and have had no problems with either companies. I just put up the Victor Jr. cause I have used them in similar applications and found them to be very good performing manifold. If you can find a similar part for less money jump on it. BTW, check your PM.
