That was a great build. I learned some good real world lessons from that thread.

Thanks for the advice, Travis- you confirmed a lot of what I suspected. I was initially leaning toward a 744 cam but they tend to be a little rough in a 350 and I want this thing to be as easy-going as possible, as it will be running most of the time out of boost.

I thought there was a guy with a thread on the street section a while back who was wondering what to do with one, and what to keep from it. Didn't know if he should sink it in the swamp or keep it.

If memory serves correct, he was in either SC or GA.

Back when the rules for some racing was 366 cid, several of the low buck Pontiac guys ran stroked 350 pontiac blocks and a .030" overbore with Ram Air IV heads.

RA-IV camshaft in a 350-366 size engine does thump pretty good,

If an off-the-shelf forged piston could be obtained, I think a 326 would also respond very well to some boost. It definitely would be something a little different!
