I'm mid project of my 68 coupe 350 2bbl 2 spd auto all numbers matching, all original...mainly from sitting in storage for 35yrs...
Currently working on disc brake conversion & front end rebuild but thinking ahead to engine.
Planning to rebuild engine but wanting to balance keeping as close to stock as possible due to numbers matching but squeezing some more excitement out of the 350....
The car came with shorty headers (not installed yet) so I was thinking put those on there along with a period correct 4bbl pontoac intake and a q-jet. Since I'll be rebuilding the engine I'd probably put in a cam similar to what a 350HO had as well.
My main questions are: 1. Am on I the right track? 2. Cam part number recommendations 3. Is it all worth it if I keep the heads the current heads? Or is doing all that a waste if I don't do new heads?
Just wanting a driver, no hot rodding, drag racing....just wanting to get more to the stock 350HO levels of power.
