Alright here is the toughest question on the planet ever!!!!! You have 3500 dollars and a 351W. Can you make a Streetable daily driver that is not too timid. Lets see whatca got. GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What's the condition of the motor? If it is low miles or recently rebuilt, you would prob get a good bang for your buck with a package of heads, carb, manifold, mild cam,etc. - I am not suggesting edelbrock, but their site gives you a good idea of what's available sothat you can narrow down specifics on components.

If it has not been rebuilt, get a complete rebuild. Might have to go with stock heads to cover cost of rebuild and associated parts.

My suggestions in a nutshell. I am sure the guys here will provide a host of opinions on specifics. A well balanced set up is your best bet, and if you are selective, do-able within your budget.

Good luck.
