Flat top pistons
1970 pickup truck heads with 2.02s (enlarged valves but open chamber)
New valve springs
Edelbrock performer and 750 carb
Headers
Crane cam (card pictured)
Your results may vary, but I had it in front of a muncie m20
Good off throttle reponse, decent idle, hard pulling little engine.
I sold the car to a friend in 2011 and it still runs great.

That cam's very close to what I used in my mild 350 re-build. I believe mine was the Crane Cam w/the split duration just under that one (212/218 comes to mind). I prob used the 266-2 as the likely grind. I recall the builder/dyno guy helping me agreeing the extra exhaust duration would help the weaker exhaust side. Non-stock/noticeable idle w/o being non-daily friendly.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
