Thats a little more like it. Only thing I would have done differently is stroke it. 383 or 396. No replacement for displacement. I hate small motors. Other than that, sounds like a pretty solid combo.
One more thing. With a SB, you may wanna re consider the glide. Unless its a lightweight truck. A 3 speed anything will probably run better for that set up.

I dis-agree about a stroker for a 84' S-10 pickup, he will need alot of suspension work with just a 355 in order to get things to hook up properly. He has the cam to be able to turn the rpm needed for a deeper gear swap to be able to get better control of the tire spin, and to be able to make up for the displacement through mechanical leverage. I would consider a 4.56-5.13 rear gear depending on tire diameter for the rpm going through the traps.
Now, depending on what type of rear susp, I would go with dif types of engine.
Case in point. A few years back I tuned the 4 link on a tubbed S10 that had a 434 SB for power. Carried the front wheels about 1 foot in the air about 30 or 40 feet.
I just like bigger motors. You should know that Shane.
