What is a good street setup for a 350?

Curious as to what you guys are running? My truck won't be driven to much if I decide to build the motor and I'm curious what are good setups. Carb wise, heads, intake, cam, fuel pump, exhaust?

My friend has a 350 with victor jr heads, with a high rise intake, demon carb,mild cam I believe, some headers and that think is pretty awesome. Any ideas? I don't know much about head selections and what goes good with what. Also is there anything not cheap but is it possible to build a semi fast motor with about 5-7k?

If you have that type of budget, I'd step up to a stroker 383, about a 9-1 compression, 5.7 con rods, 272 cam, aluminum heads

Re: What is a good street setup for a 350?

If it is not a daily driver....the sky is the limit! I have seen no issues on pump fuel, damn close to 10 to1 (aluminum heads, toss the heat, & help with the situation)? My old 383 was @ 9.8 static, & ran a fairly mild cam ....the XE268, is fairly rowdy in a 327 or 355....it pulled 16.5" vac in my 383, & idled with a slight hint of lope. Into the power band good, from 2500-5700, & burned 90-91 pump fuel! Deeper in the gear, & higher on the verter stall....that puts the "icing"" on the mix As far as carb...you might look at the Quick Fuel offerings....if you don't plan over 6000 revs, don't go real big? Little bro put a 650 Quick Fuel DP on the old 383, for track use. He ran 13.1 @102, in his S-10....my old 383, with street tune/edlbrock carb, & shifting @ 5200 revs. Not track tuned yet this yr, but we are looking for a 12.5-12.7 ride....if he don't go there, he will have to let the "crazy brother" loose on that track Longhorn

What aluminum heads are we looking at? And intake manifolds?
