350 Build Question
A few questions, I've asked this question before on the site but then postponed engine work on my car for a while and now I'm back to it. It's a 72 350 Rocket and never been rebuilt. Originally I wanted alot of power but I've come to decide I'm more interested in just a dependable engine with a quick get up and go. My budget is still the same roughly $3k. I'm wondering what carb, gears and intake to purchase to match the 42-208-4 comp cam. I've been told to go with edelbrock on both the intake and the carb. I remember the gears mentioned were the 3:23 gears. Also what type of exhaust I should go with. I'm interested in a deep mild lobe(not sure if I'm describing it right). I want it to sound like a monster when I'm sitting at the stop light .

Gear choice is good, carb and manifold is fine too. Wouldn't do anything on a cam though till you decide what you're going to do with the compression.

the edelbrock 1406 & performer are a great match, and dependable as hell.
a holley 600cfm might give you more HP and launches better, but will be more work to maintain.
the intake i chose is a performer 350, which some say is just a lighter version of the stock cast iron manifold. but hey, its aluminum and pretty to look at lol
if you wanna be a stop-light hero, just slide a set of glass packs on a 350 with hedmans/hooker/flowtechs and you should be good to go.
