Do you have E85 fuel around there?
The pistons are made by manley, its not a 350 its going to be a 355 (pistons .030)
Im not sure which heads or intake to get yet, Im open to suggestions..
as for a carb i have access to a Demon i think its either 750 or 850, currently on a 383 build with a victor jr intake and 12.5-1 pistons.

What everyone is trying to get at in a nice way,,,, NO WAY is that combination going to be a street friendly motor. NOT going to happen. It sounde like your looking for a pump gas (street?) motor and it ain't gonna work unless you find some nice old 80cc smogger heads (that would stiffle performance to no end). You need to throw those pistons and the cam on evilbay and get a set of nice SRP flat tops, and start all over.
I could care less if i drive it on the street, I just want to make sure these core parts are going to work well together on a single carb setup. I dont have a problem with just running cam2 other then the price of it haha.. I wonder how well its going to idle?
Im also getting a used set of hydraulic lifters, Im not sure if I should use them or not, ill be posting pictures of them when I get them, feel free to give me input on there visual condition if that matters
as for E85 cant say ive heard of it

I'm going to SMART-OFF and say he's in over his head b/c he's not listening to the guys that are trying to help him!
And I'm trying to help HIM too by saying so.
Oh, and btw, E85 is gasohol w/ 85 percent ethanol in it so it has an octane rating of right at 105! Definately just right for a 13.5 to 1 CR'd engine!
We have it here in the Midwest at alot of pumps.

reread this post, there's a lot of info you're missing. Your going to want a solid set of lifters cause I'm betting thats a solid cam. Go look thru the posts and see what other members combo's look like. What is your goal with this engine and what is your budget lookin like?
