Yeah, without knowing his cam specs, gears, and what he wants out of the truck, its hard to say which would be better. If it were going to be a quick street/strip truck or weekend warrior, I too would go with 200cc Iron Eagles. You can always grow into a bigger head, and at some point you're gonna havta go faster, right?
I'm building an engine for my red '69 right now, and its going to be strictly a daily driver, but I do want more power than the 76cc headed smog 350 has that's in it now. I'm basically building a carb'd version of the GMPP Ram Jet 350. It's a going to be a 4 valve relief flattop .030" 1 piece seal 350 with Vortecs and Ram Jet hydraulic roller P/N 14097395. It is a mild, smooth idling cam but makes great torque and very good HP for what it is. This is a proven combination, and I know it will make my truck much more fun to drive. With the same heads and cam and 9.4 CR, the Ram Jet 350 is advertised at 350HP and 400ft lb. I'm going to be running an dual plane aluminum intake and Q jet with ram horns and 2.5" duals, so I won't quite make those numbers, but it will be very stout nonetheless.
