here in the next few months i will be building a 350 that will be cruising the country. it will be going into a chevy van. i need some advice on building a very efficient motor. im thinking of a 350 with 882 heads, factory iron intake, new quadrajet, factory cam (or any cam that could get better mpg/power), HEI, open element air filter, and hoping for headers and chrome sidepipes. what do you guys think? is there a better cam other than factory (.390/.410) that could get better mpg? are there any better heads to go with for mpg? im going for fuel efficient only.
