The reason i'm asking is because I've got the option to go either way right now. I'm running a set of world S/R torquer heads, but I've only got ONE head. I'm buying a new head to match, because the other head was destroyed. However the machine shop informed me that my current head is fitted with 2.05 intake valves, and standard size (1.60) exhaust valves. There won't be a price difference to either stick with the 2.05's and have the new head fitted, or go with 2.02's and refit the old head with the smaller valves.

I picked up the cam kit and it came with the entire valvetrain except valves.
The rockers are roller rockers with the standard 1.52 ratio.
As for ignition/ fuel delivery I've got a nice mallory street HEI, no box.
I've got a few carbs and I'm not sure which one i'm going to use. I've got a holley 600 i rebuilt, a 650, a 750 DP, and a few Qjets all of them are either 750's or 850 CFMs.
I rebuild Qjets and run them on just about everything so I've got a few options there. The intake will depend on what carb i use. I've got a few old holley/edelbrock aluminium ones i picked up for cheap, used. Some are spread bore, some are square. I'll go with whichever will work best with this setup.
Thanks for taking the time to read this yall, i figured i'd be able to get some straight forward advice on here for squeezing as much out of this 350 as i can.
Budgets a concern with this build, just trying to get this SBC togethor so i can drive the car while i build my 403. They're expensive to build :shock: I'm hoping it pays off. Adding insult to injury here i dished out 500$ for nothing, some of you know what i'm talking about.
