vortec heads
I have read alot of threads in the past few days, but i still have a few questons. If i were to rebuild a 350 for my 86 GMC k1500 using vortec heads what would be a good cam shaft to run in it without a real hard lope...keep in mind this is going to be a daily driver. I know i will need new valve covers, self aligning rocker arms, intake, and gaskets. Am i missing anything else? Any suggestions?

I read that they were a good swap for cheap power. It's got 700r4 tranny. I just want a strong daily driver with plenty of power and responsiveness. Right now it has a quadrajet but I have a 670cfm holley laying around I was planing on using. I'm not sure about max RPM and ill have to check my axle for the gear ratio. I don't care if its got lope I just don't need a huge cam.

Yeah u wont want a huge cam for a daily driver
Id look at competition products or even summit they both sell package deals
Cam
Lifters
Springs
Pushrods
Id say somewhere around 200-215 duration and 110-112 lsa
Itll lope alittle but very torquey
Especially cause n im guessing u dont have high a stall converter
*****be sure to varify that its a hyd roller from factory meaning u will need to accomadate for that as in guided lifters with the spyder bracket

LT4 production cam, NOT the LT4 HOT CAM if you wish to keep the factory converter.
