I have a Chevy 350 and want to do some mods to it. Nothing extremely wild, I just need a high torque, mean sounding engine.
I bought this engine to learn the workings of a classic v8 and have some fun after its done.
Basically this is going into a Jeep CJ5 box for use a few times on the year "xmas and summer"
So as for parts selection come, I was looking at the fallowing parts:
MSD Ignition 8362 - MSD Street Fire HEI Distributors
ARP 134-3601 - ARP High Performance Series Cylinder Head Bolt Kits
Summit Racing SUM-G2600 - Summit Racing? Gasket Sets for Small Chevy
Edelbrock 7501 - Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap Intake Manifolds
Edelbrock 1721 - Edelbrock Performer RPM Street Fuel Pumps
Clevite Engine Parts CB663HN - Clevite H-Series Rod Bearings
COMP Cams 2100 - COMP Cams Magnum Double Roller Timing Sets
MSD Ignition 8226 - MSD Blaster GM Coils
Sealed Power Z4663M - Federal Mogul Main Bearing Sets
Sealed Power Z1235M - Federal Mogul Cam Bearings
Edelbrock 7102 - Edelbrock Performer RPM Cam and Lifter Kits or Summit Racing SUM-K1105 - Summit Racing? Cam and Lifter Kits
Holley 0-6210 - Holley Model 4165 Carburetors
Valve springs
So red items are the ones that i'm still not sure. I want a hard hitting cam, not worried so much about idle quality but don't want something that is pure nightmare to drive at slow speeds. Guess I'm asking to much? Really I know little about v8 but I'm reading as I go along. I want to rebuild it to hold punishment and around 400+hp.
Now I have an other doubt, should I run an electric water pump or a mechanical one?
Any and all suggestions are welcome. Specially looking for cam, carb, fuel pump advice.
