The heads are not part of any “package” and they were not designed for use on a 350.

Edelbrock uses the terms “Performer” “RPM” and “Victor” to define the differences in the “power levels” of their offerings. Any Edelbrock dealer (machine shop) should already know, that because both 455 and 350 parts fall into the same classification, it does not automatically make them compatible.

I would not expect any issues when using a part that was designed for the intended (400/425/455) application.

Not if the heads were designed for use on a 350.

That would be the way I would do it, if I chose to use a mechanical pump, on a 350.
