What is the intended use street strip or all out racing.

mainly just driving around town, but also going too the track and some racing  

That is a pretty large carb for a 350... If you really intend on using that specific carb you will be wanting to use a very large cam and some very impressive heads. A typical street motor would use a 650cfm set up.  

oh i see.. wish i had known that earlier.  by large cam do you mean one with very high lift and long duration?  

Yes. My best recomendation would be to contact summit's tech line. They are very knowledgeable and will help you determine the proper cam specs for the carb you are planning to use. They will most likely be able to give you some ideas of a good head set-up as well.  

ok thanks!! im kinda just wanting too buy a complete rebuild kit tho, with cam included, i found one with a few cam options, but i will check out summit thanks!  

Try www.northernautoparts.com for a rebuild kit and I recomend a cam with a .480-500 lift like the elgin or crane energizer kits they have. also for heads I would use a set of summit #sum-162111.

i will check into that, those heads are really expensive i might add, at least in my case... why so much lift? becuase of the big carb?  

i think i will get the elgin kit with 214/214 duration and 443/443 lift is that a good choice?  

ok check out the sum-152123 heads see if those are more in your budget range.

I choose that high of a lift because of the size carb. you have.
If it was mine I would use the .480lift elgin it has a power band of 2200-5200.

ok i will take a look at those,  with a slightly higher power band, will it take longer for the engine too get there if you pin it at an idle?  

yeah those heads are a bit cheaper lol...  can i get a used set of heads that would be about the same thing?  also im thinking about matching all of this with an edelbrock torker II single plane intake is that a good choice?  thanks for all the help so far!!  

What type of vehicle is this going in and what rear gears are you going with.

it is a 1966 chevrolet single cab short bed i am not sure what gears the rear end are but i think it is the factory rear end.
