Hi im wanting to build a 350 for my 76 shortbed, it has a 4 speed and a 208 transfer with 1/2 ton axles and 3.73 gears. I want the most power i can and i am on a limited budget since im a teenager. Which aluminum heads, cam, and intake would be the best combination? The engine has dish top pistons and im going to use these. This is a daily and toy to play around in

Budget..
That can be interpreted differently.
To most, budget would be 882's refreshened.
But if you want the best bang for the buck, get you some vortecs. you will need a vortec carb intake to match.
As for the rest, a nice .030 355 with flat tops and a 268/282 cam would be pretty peppy, especially if you like low range.


I just seen, your reusing the dished pistons? Are these stock bore? I there no ring ridge?

If your running dished pistons, DEFFINETLY go vortecs, and you can even get them shaved down to 60cc(mine are, and I smoothed the bowls). And run a .015 steel shim to keep your compression up, considering that they are probly in the hole about .0450.
