ideas for truck build SBC engine

[Grumpy]

Hello,

I have my 350 v8 stripped to the block. I want to enhance performance with a new cam, air intake, intake manifold, and plane the heads. Any suggestions? The engine is going into a 1977 c20.

Thank you

whats the truck weight?
what transmission?
IF automatic will you use a non-stock. higher stall speed converter?
what rear gear ratio?
what tire diameter?
do you need to pass emission testing?
will you be towing anything heavy?
what altitude do you live at?
whats the truck used for?
is this a weekend toy or daily transportation?
posting a good deal more info on what your trying to accomplish,
a brief suggestion on your current personal skills,
and previous experience, access to tools, etc.,
budget limitations and other info will insure you get far more accurate advise!
Im not trying to be a P.I.T.A.
I'm only trying to match the completed project goals with the realistic expectations and budget and what knowledge and physical assets you have to work with.

these links should help, most people who have a 350 block build a 383 simply because its not much if any more expensive to build than a similar 350 but your going to have about 15% more hp and torque when your done!
there will be a dozen guys suggesting a dozen different combos, on any web site, but unless you know the limitations your working with and the intended outcome your chances of matching the suggested combo to the application are at best very unlikely to work to your full potential.
your far better off spending a week or so doing research and reading than jumping blindly into the project waving a check book!

yeah! I know you would rather skip the reading, links and sub links but if you do it will not be to your long term benefit!
