Get a 41 - 51 flat topped pistons 216 block complete , , get a '37 -40 head . ( off the domed top pistons block ) .
Have the head planed .185" .
This will take your standard comp ratio to 7.8:1
Max over bore will increase it more.
3/4 cam ,, a set of Fentons , and a dual carb setup , and all the usual detailing and care when assembling .
It will look cool , sound cool , drive GREAT , and be different to all the other 350 / 350 combos out there .
A good reference book to soak up is California Bill's "Chevrolet & GMC Speed Manual.
You can pick this up fairly regular on e-bay.
