Then you can play with all the other 350 68 Camaros in F,G, and H/SA. Good luck!
Their isnt a legal camel back head out there that will outflow a bone stock 350 vortec off a pickup truck. Having said that the compairable engine that you discribe for my car is a 295hp combo....i naturally carry 330hp factory rated and at one point is was 340....settling down currently at 334hp. The step backwards without having exotic backwoods wichcraft heads and intake would be staggering. Sure there is guys out there that run fast with that combo however i really didnt want to have to start all over again.
