Default Motor Build

Ok here is the deal I have a 84 corvette with the cfi. Looking for some advice on building a motor. I have some ideas in my head but just not sure at the shop where i work we work mostly on c5 and c6 builds. So I am not as fimiliar with c4. Im looking to put down about 350hp. I would like to try to keep motor in it and just do away with the crossfire. So throw some ideas. Thanks

Use the search feature to have a look at the hundreds of builds done here.
Then figure out which you would like to do, and budget accordingly.

You are looking at a new cam, heads, and intake to accomplish your goal with a streetable engine. Lots of choices within those guidelines. With the right choices you can stay with the 350 ci displacement.
