Currently have a pretty much stock 350. Built about 7,000 miles ago. Has a mild comp cam, Performer RPM manifold, and a Holly 650 Double Pumper. Was wondering how big of cam, and heads (type of) I could put on it and still keep (and work well) with the intake and 650 Holly.
Also what is a guess of horsepower wtih new set up.
Have a stage 2 700R4, and a Ford 9 inch, posi, disk rear end. 350 gears
Thanks
Mike

One suggestion could be call Edelbrock and see if they can offer a pair of E-Tech heads to match your intake and then have a cam thats slightly larger to match the intake and heads. One thing performance is trying to get everything to match, cause thats how more and better power is produced.

How about reworked factory heads from a 305 or a 327? The 327 might be hard to find, but the 305 heads might raise your compression too much for pump gas. Or you can get the 350 heads ported, polished, and shaved.
