Stage 3 heads
Stage 3 heads Are Le3 stage heads and cam too big for a stock block 350? Cause i want something that is a beast but still street driveable. If not what about the stage 2 heads and a gm847 cam?

This is just my opinion, but the only thing that will hold you back is the ability to spin the rpm's those heads/cam require for peak numbers. In my opinion, I would go with the LE3 setup, which would give you some room to grow if you ever build your bottom end. What will prohibit your rpm range are simply rod bolts, and in some cases the pistons haven't been able to handle 6500+ rpms. You take care of those two variables and you will have a stout street machine. And if you ever step up to a built 355, 383, 396 etc you already have the heads and cam to go with it. just my .02

So you recomend changing the rods or rod bolts and pistons and running the le3 heads? It sounds like the way it is exsplained by lloyd the heads and cam set up would be just a beast which i am looking for. Anything else that i would have to change? Thank you for your help.
