Thanks for the input everyone!
The T2 is just because its easy to do right now. I won't run the T2 on the little 350. If I do ever end up running it I will probably slap on a iron intake and a q-jet. But for the sake of time right now I'm going with the T2 and a 650 Holley just to see how the engine runs.
Just501, how much power did you get out of your 350?
After playing around on desktop dyno I realized without increasing the compression a cam swap isn't of much use on this engine. Now with a set of small chamber heads, 68-72 cc, the cam swap would yeild more power. In stock form (7.6:1, 2bbl, stock manifolds) desktop dyno shows peak power of 209 hp @ 4000 and 299 ftlbs @ 3000. A cam swap alone to the 2800 shows a increase of just 6 hp and 15 ftlbs. Just swap the 2bbl(with stock cam) for a 750 cfm 4bbl and it shows an increase of 18 hp and 8 ft lbs. Headers(everything else stock) alone show an increase of 43 hp and 34 ftlbs, moving both peaks up about 500 RPM. Headers and 750 cfm 4bbl together it shows an increase of 61 hp and 47 ftlbs. It would probably be fun to drive at that power level, if that reflects reality. I'm not planning on doing this, I was just having a little fun with desktop dyno.
