What do I have here?

[panhandler62]

I'm trying to figure out exactly what I have so I can plan my future.

Not having a good place to do body work right now I figured I would go ahead and start by hopping up the power plant.

The stamp on the front of the block is K06 26 TJC which, as I understand it, means I have a 1973 vintage 350 (originaly 160hp 4v motor from a C-20/3500) made in Ontario on June 26. The heads are 14102193 which makes them 1986-88 350 EFI heads with 1.94 intake and 1.5001 exhaust valves.

The motor supposedly has about 2500 miles since a complete rebuild. While I can't verify that, it runs perfectly and the old guy I got it from was an old Christian farmer from Virginia, so I tend to believe it.

It has an Edlebrock Performer on it topped with a Q-Jet that I plan to replace with an Edlebrock 1407 carb I have on hand.

My next step is definatly a set of headers but, I don't know if I should go for a bigger cam after that or if different heads are in order.

Any thoughts on this?

Also.. Is there an FAQ that will tell me how much I am getting into to replace the 3 + granny 4sp with a late model 5 speed?

thanks all...
