Lalo,
You might try and find a Ford engine instead of the Chev 350, although I would think the early Chev small blocks would be your best buy. Look for a 260-289-302 or 351 Ford engine. The 352 Ford engine would be a poor substitute as it is from an entirely different family of engines that the Fords I have listed.

Some of your ideas go far beyond the scope of your experience.

Give me some idea of what kind of cars/truck you would have access to. What is available to you in regards to your income.

Like I said before, stay with something that is relatively simple at first. You can always change or modify as your experience and income increases.

What kinds of car do your peers drive, what mods have they made. You need a local support group or car club to share ideas.
