Hi every one. Just introduced myself on the New Member section, but Hi to those who havent seen my post.

At the moment im throwing round ideas for the spec of a planned 350 rebuild. Its gona be for my series III landy, with which ill be taking part in anything from trials, to rallies to the odd car park drag race (thats as good as it gets in england im afraid).

As you've probably guessed im not chasing high hps, but im after axle snapping torque (extra hp is always good though). I'm on quite a small bugget (so new heads etc are prob out the question), but id rather spend a bit more and do a job propperly. and to contradict the last statement: ill be doing most of the work myself (that i have the facilities for)
at the moment i was thinking along the lines of:

750cfm q-jet or 700 cfm vac secondaries (holley or edelbrock)
performer air gap or performer EPS manifold
electronic ignition
stock heads (with some home porting and bowl work)
1 5/8 headers
rebuilt, honed, and balanced block and crank
hypereutetic pistons
roller valvetrain

for the cam i was think along the lines of....

around 112 lobe separation
215 degress duration at 0.050
270 duration
0.5 lift

what do you guys think? any ideas would be good as everyone on this forum is bound to know more on chevys than me!
also, whats everyones views on the carbs designed specially for trucks (ok i know this is a hotrod forum!) such as the Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS, and the Holley Truck Avenger? are they worth the extra $100?

cheers for your patience guys
