The links you provided were things I read back when I put mine together. My 350 was a built short block with forged rods/pistons, with plans on doing a single turbo in my 72 Lemans. But engine problems in the Firebird made me change direction to keep that car operable.

So I used the 350 HO as an inspiration, but wanted a more modern cam. Paul Carter recommended the Voodoo cams from his experience and conversations with Harold Brookshire, and I have been satisfied with that choice.

What I have seen here on PY has been wildly different views on what defines a street engine. Engines that do 13 or 14 second quarter miles times, while pretty hot back in the 60's and 70's, make some people yawn with boredom now. I'm more of the boring guy these days, I got tired of chasing every tenth of a second.

I fully support tree-fiddy's.
