SBC in Bodydropped Dime....

so if i run headers, i'm gonna need tube arms. but i can run the stock exhaust manifolds or do i need camaro manifolds cause they are not as wide? how much for those manifolds you got?

this might seem kind of ghetto too, but do a lot of people just get tube uppers? i know you can buy them separately....

no other stock mani will work, other than a stock camaro one. the other sbc's are either too wide or dump in the wrong spot... lt1's work but im pretty sure you have to use em on an lt1( not 100% on that one)

40 plus shippin for the mani's i have

i have art's arms had em for abut 3 years without any problems

i have ssd arms but i plan to run 22's with my sbc im buying these no need to change your uppers!

are these the only headers you can run without clearance issues? i definitely want to add some performance to the motor, so i think i will skip the camaro manifolds.

any suggestions on intake manifolds, carburetors, mild cam, how much to bore over, pistons, rebuild kits, anything?

i want it to have some decent horsepower, but not too much where i break shit. i'm gonna keep the stock 4.3L tranny, driveshaft, rear end, etc... and i also don't wanna roast my 30 series tires all day. lol

when takin the block to a machine shop, engine shop, or wherever, what is a pretty common amount to bore over a 350 and keep it reasonable? like 0.030 over or something more?
