Engine hop up questions?

[gmc71]

I am sort of new to the 4x4, mostly street cars before. So I am looking for a little wisdome when it comes to beefing up the motor (stock 350) I have in my truck. Overall it runs good now, except one bank of valve seals is going, I am planning to put at least a cam, intake and new carb on it. What combos have proved best for you guys. Looking for the average 90% road and lite towing, 10% fun on the trails. Weekend driving mostly. Should I be looking for low end torque or mid range, I'm guessing mid range. The truck is a 3/4 ton, 4 spd, unknown gearing.

So to sum it up, what cam, intake and carb should I be looking for? Anything else I should take care of when I'm doing this?

Tons of body work in my future so i want to get the engine buttoned up first.

I would look at some of comps 4X4 line of camshafts. Also a edelbrock intake and carb, some headers and a good flowing exhaust and be done with it. Good luck with it in the future...Later Mike

build for low to mid range torque, and dont worry about horsepower.

Yeap thats what I did and Im very happy with the way it turned out. I have the 4.10's also and it makes for a fun little truck when your offroad...Later Mike
