Need some help to put a motor together

Well i have 1974 350 4 bolt that is stripped. I have a 400 crank, 5.7 forged rods. I am looking at putting the edelbrock 3500 efi system, and also already have a brand new set of world 220cc heads with 2.08 intake 1.60 exhaust.

Need help picking pistons , and cam, They pistons peferably forged and like a 10.1-10.5 comp.

Also want to go about 150-200 n20.

Anything would help, any suggestiong? -Eric

How are you going to fit a 400 crank in a 350? The journals are not the same size. Do you have a 3.75" stroke crank?

Those are some huge heads for a 383. What is the combustion chamer size?

You might also want to get a different intake. The Torquer II is a really old school, old technology intake. It pretty much sucks.

Well i now the jounals are to small i already have a performance machine shop that nows how to cut the block correctly to fit the stroker crank.

I never said i was going to install the torqer 2 manifold, i have the torker manifold installed in my car right now on a tbi camaro.

I want to go edelbrock 3500 efi system?

The heads are 64cc, I also am asking on what i should do for this motor not want to get criticised. -Eric
