Best heads? http://www.flowtechinduction.com/mas...d-valve-heads/

Best cam? Something in the 25x/26x duration,.67x .67x lift range.

At that point, you might as well go with some sort of FI. Going to make a lot more power than any H/C setup for a 346.

He said Best cam. Isn't there someone out there that sells a 26x/26x with almost .800 lift on a 110 LSA? Idles at like 1600 RPM and might stay together on a street car for a few miles. Thats probably the best cam I can think of. Now you just need to change the rockers, lifters, push rods, cam gear, timing chain, heads, pistons, etc... to make it work.
