What's the spec's on your 350? How much power you looking for?you mostly going to cruise or race it? There's a ton of ways you can go with a 350

Depending on what you have for compression an heads you might be able to do a simple rebuild with a good cam/intake/carb an make some good street able power. If the heads are to small you might have look into getting a set. Aluminum is better than iron an there's a few that you can get for a decent price.
