building 350sb

I think the combo that Captain Fab posted is an excellent one. As far as the cams, I prefer the Lunati better. Both cams are excellent, and were designed by the same guy (Harold Brookshire, who worked at Comp, then went to Lunati, and is now on his own), but the Lunati was the later iteration of the two, and has Harold's latest technical tricks added. With this cam, you can keep the stall speed at a liveable number (1800-2000) and it'll pull hard from 1500-6200 rpm. Perfect for a street driven vehicle. If anything, I would go a little bigger on the carb. Personally, I'd run a Holley 750 vacuum secondary. If that 350 combo has Captain's combo in it, it'll make an honest 400 horsepower, as long as you can get the compression ratio around 10:1. The Vortec head is a great deal, but you'll have to make sure that you order a Vortec-specific intake manifold, as the bolt pattern is different.
