L31 350 in a '72

This is all just hypothetical at this point, but im thinking about this engine:

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NAL-12530282/

Factory rated at about 255hp. I'd want it to make around 300-350hp, and comparable torque (cuz whats the fun in going slow?) with a cam swap and a vortech intake.

What would be a good cam setup to get near that, if possible? Or should I look more into the GMPP 350HO for those kinda numbers? I'd rather stay will rollers though.

The truck will be my daily/only vehicle at that point, btw. Just looking for suggestions here.

For that kind of money why not do a 6.0 ls swap?

I don't know how much they go for in your area but I paid $1200 for mine complete with the harness, computer, and tcu.

Just a thought...

Im considering it, yes. But Im leaning towards a 350 as it is. Still just hypothetical at this point really.
