Good set up for my vette

Hi Everyone, Just got my 1974 Vette about a month ago and would like to find a good engine set up. Currently, it has 350, 3speed automatic. It is pretty much bone stock. So, I a, thinkimg of modifying the upper block. I am thingking of getting 650-750 cfm 4 barrels carburator, intake, lifters, rollers, cam, and gear drive, and possibly a side exhaust or full length headers. Can you suggest any brands, ratio, or specs, that can improve the performance.. And any place to get good price Thank you

Well, here's what mods have been done to mine:

Summit Racing can supply you with just about anything you might want or need. Great people!

I had the same questions a couple years agao and sent an email to VETTE Magazine.  One of their editors, Dave Emanuel, set me up with the following modifications.

ok I havent pulled the valve covers off my 75 Vette, but do our Vettes have "Roller" rockers stock????

No, stamped steel.

I swapped motors and went with a ZZ4 (I should have gone with the fast burn ZZ4) and even those have the stamped rocker arms (I was a bit suprised to discover that).  Don't forget about the rest of your power train if you beef up the engine (torque converter especially).  When I did the engine swap, I knew NOTHING about engines and had no one to talk to about it.  If I had known more, I might have put a stroker in there, or at least the fast burn. Breast (oops....I mean BEST) of luck to you

That's the one I want as well...money is the issue. My L48 still runs very strong; just a bit of oil consumption but no other issues so hard to justify spending the money on a new motor. I want to do some supension/steering work before that.

If you are going to spend that much money, I'd go for a 4 speed overdrive auto tranny.

Thank for all suggestions. I spent quite a good time talking to Suumit Racing tech service. With the stock bottom block that I have, they are recommending 650 cfm Holley, comp cams, rollers, and lifters. Also recommending MSD 6201. Also, he told me dont change my intake and distributor if not broken. I called again after 30 minutes and talk to a different guy, suggesting to use, I believe, a new brand of carburator, Quick Silver, or something quick. I did ask him about changing my intake he recommended edelbock 2101 with spacer, but he said it might be tight on top unless I can find a skinny air filter. My question, and need your help, if i am changing my carburator, to 4 barrels, do I need to change my intake? Should I go higher than 650 cfm? If I will chnge my intake, which one, I can use without mods to my hood? Or better yet, which air cleaner is skinny enough, that i dont need to change my hood. Thank you
