Do you mean this one or this one?

If so, then yes, those will work; they're both for small block Chevy.

The first one (500 HP) uses a pretty aggressive cam, and is otherwise alot more of a track-only setup. It isn't what I'd consider "streetable" or wise, for an entry-level user. It also has very large-chamber heads, meaning it's set up for a bigger motor than a 350, or for domed (race gas ONLY) pistons.

If you're set on the TF product line, the 2nd one would be a far better choice.
