71 K10 350 Engine Rebuild - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The engine goes to the machine shop on Friday. Unless I need to replace it, I'll need to decide about cam, intake and carburator. The mostly stock 1971 K10 will be used for getting to the mountains then onto dirt/gravel/mild bolder paths. Sometimes pulling a small trailer. SM465/NP205. Front D44 has thicker axles. Rear axles are stock. Axle ratio is 3.73. Tires will be no more 33". Exhaust will be stock 2" or 2-1/2" rams horns. Summit shows a couple of cams optimized for 1000-3000 rpm. Can I stick with the stock intake and q-jet and be happy about performance. Suggestions regarding cam selection or other engine ideas?
