Hey WW! I just picked up a 1972 Chevy C10. I am the second owner, very clean truck, original paint with the exception of rockers and a driver side front fender.
The current 350 runs strong, quadrajet carb. I am looking to possibly build it up a little while still having it VERY pump gas and street friendly. Not looking to do anything really deep (keep stock crank, rods, pistons, etc..). Any guidance would be much appreciated. Cam, valvetrain, heads, intake... any specific combinations that will work well??
Beings it is the original engine, should I start with something different? A part of me would hate to start throwing more power at the original engine and have it blow, not sure how important matching numbers are on a truck like this. Summit has 350 SBC engine assemblies for under $1500.... or I could get a junk yard find. Thoughts??
