Camshaft Selection Etc...
I have a 2 bolt main 350 bored 30 over, flat top pistons, stock crank balanced & cut, stock rods, older heads milled etc..., a holly 750 dbl pumper, victor jr. intake, headers are on the way, It will be going in my 84' Z28
up untill now I have been flying by the seat of my pants more or less, getting a part here & there. Now about all I lack is the camshaft, the fella at the machine shop where I had the block work done said anything with over a 500 lift would work, does that sound right? Does anyone run a similar setup?
Also I have a muncie M21 4 speed transmission, (however 1st gear is stripped) & a Turbo 350 automatic, do you all think it would be worth the $ (performance wise) to have the muncie rebuilt or just throw the T350 in?
Any help would be appreciated
SORRY just realized I posted this on the wrong page

What are you trying to achieve with the build? daily driver. weekend cruiser/racer? what heads? (casting number) have the heads been modified to accept higher than stock valve lift? (springs) studs, guide boss clearance height.?
If you go with the th350 will you be using the stock torque converter 12"(2200stall) or buying a high stall 10 or 11"?
Will you be staying with the 3.08's or??? Do you want a rough idle? /smooth idle?? do you want fuel efficientcy. (back and forth to work) or "take no prisoners" drag race power?
