350 stump puller
I have a 76 w/ 3.36 gears and a 350 turbo trans
this is what the previous owner did to my engine:
edlebrock torker II single plane intake...no good till 2500 rpm
isky .05 lift 244/244 duration... no good till 2800 rpm
750 edlebrock performer carb
new/stock lower w/ 8.5:1 compression
this is for a circle track car!!!!
this is what i want to do:
dual plane intake........suggestions?
new cam...................suggestions?
10.0:1 flat top pistons...maybe new rods?
600-650 carb.........?
keep in mind i want torque.............maybe a 383 stroker kit would be cool
thanks

If you want torque - 383 will definitely give you that. I 'm in that process right now. Should have the motor back in the next couple of weeks.
If you just wanted to freshen up what you have for now, I's throw on a Performer intake and Comp Cams 262 or 268 grind.
The carb is fine. If you do wnat to get rid of it, I'd be willing to swap my Edelbrock for your 750....

That is very similar to the cam I am running. I have 10.1 compression and I feel the cam is a little much in my car. It really comes on from 3000 to 7000 and I run the LT1 dual plane intake. That cam in a 383 with decent compression and a Victor Jr will go right at 500 HP with very good torque. That is my future plans to keep the top end of the motor just go 383

The motor Ganey just mentioned is the type I've been "going to get to" for the past few years. Original 350,260H cam, S/R Torquer heads,2101, and Q-jet with 2.5" exhaust. I'm guessing it will be around 300hp but not sure about torque? It will be used with a modified th400 and 308 gear.

ive got the 2.02 sportsman CI heads
2" headers into side pipes, no crossover yet.
if i get 300hp/400ftlbs tq that would be good.
im leaning towards this:
performer EPS intake
260H comp cam
and
9.5:1 or 10.0:1 flat top pistons.......stock 8.5:1 in car now.
anyone else want to add to this?
thanks

Stock heads are 76cc & Sportsman have smaller chambers so your C/R is higher than stock.
XE-262 subtracts some low rpm torque that you said you wanted & adds some HP over the XE-256.

my friend is planning on putting a sbcc i na cj7 he wants to buy and it is my job to put together the motor for really cheap.
I have been working on desktop dyno a bit and here is the combo im thinking of using
350 short block, 8.5 to 1 compression, just refreshen factory components.
vortec heads, bowl blending, pocket porting, and port matching possibly with roller rockers later on
truck avenger cam and carb from edlebrock
edlebrock performer intake manifold
with this combo desktop dyno is telling me he will have 400ft/lbs till 4000rpm, and its perfectly flat till then, then it just drops off, not sure on hp, but it is not much.
now thats a torque motor, after seeing that i though, hey i might want to do that for my vette instead of a high horsepower motor, but i wont.

just wondering,
is the xe 256 much better than a stock cam,
i was gonna order a xe 262 today but now i'm wondering,
my motor is stock apart from weiand intake manifold, headers and duals,
it's a daily driver, often in heavy traffic,
thanks guys,
neil
