$500 for track heat intake.
$600 edelbrock rpm2 intake
around the same for the holly intake.
$255 for a OTS (off the shelf) comp cam, about $300 for a custom cam from Jay Allen (spend the extra couple $'s)
Edelbrock RPM alum polished heads from jegs $1,282
if you get AFR's, get the valve spring upgrade
Any aluminum set of heads will be around $1,400
Canfields, AFR, and Edelbrock would be my choice, sure TF will work also.
just a tid bit of info, the eddy rpm heads; from what i have read they are not worth the money to have ported, so if you plan to port later on, get the TF heads, AFR's have cnc heads already.

RE: top end need help
hmm well with a 347 id hope to make some were around 400hpto the wheels.with some good torque1/4 mile times of high to mid 12's a price range for just the top end budgetwould be 2000$ if i could get a good one for less that would be great... i dindt mean to ask for so much i just figured someone would post up a set up that there using that cost alot less then a trick flow or holley set up and produces more power instead of saying ported gt-40s and whatever else they may have... the car will be a weekend cruiser/ nice weather car with a few and i mean few ocasional trips to the track... stinkinlincoln i feel like everytime ive asked a question on this forum i get most help from you haha
