Jerry, thanks for all the info and the carb help I will start getting parts for that setup.
Thanks a lot Don I will definitely take you up on that offer!
Capnduane don't fret at some point I might get a 327 and complete the dream

Bartamos, I think the 350 is an awesome engine but definitely not for my application. I could easily remove my scary 800 hp 454/700r/12bolt from my '79 Camaro and drop it all in my truck very easily but I don't want that. As I mentioned in my first post it is just not what I am going for. I am taking a nostalgic approach to my build, no offense intended.
