Whats the popular combo's these days?
Just wondering what all the popular combos are these days...
I think ill be keeping my 350 block (less than 2000km on the newly rebuilt motor)
The car has gone from my daily driver to a weekend warrior and im looking to do a little bit of winter work on it.
Since i parked the car the end of september i have sold the carb and intake, so ill definately be needing a new source of induction.
My buddy bought a 142 blower for his truck but wants to go with a 383 or 400 now and i dont think that blower will be much use on something with that many cubes. Im thinking of trying to scoop that up from him for cheap if i can.
Other than that i think it will be some sort of EFI since thats what i had originally planned for this 350 last winter but never got around to it.

I don't think you'd enjoy FI. Are you good at dinking around with computers? I mean, ugh, just more crap to go wrong, with all the sensors and stuff... Too complex for me.
Vortecs & roots = the fun. Might have too high of compression though. What about Dart Platinum heads in 76cc, and the blower? some dual double pumpers (ahh, you didn't care about mileage anyway with the 4.11's and no OD) and you're set!
