Hi guys, new to the forum and trying to get back into the hot rodding world so please no flames if it is a stupid question. I have an older wieand dual quad tunnel ram from my previous car and now I inherited a 1985 350 2 bolt main block with 1.74/1.50 heads. Now I do not want a 800 hp motor, but a very streetable motor that will have enough get up and go so when I mash the throttle, it makes a statement. The block will be 30 over and the heads I plan on just going through them. So I guess my question is this: Would you go with a tunnel ram with small carbs or larger carb with a high rise manifold. I did a search and read everything I could, but something is not clicking in my mind with the info I read. I like the look of a tunnel ram but I am not prepared to suffer through poor performance just to look cool. Maybe I answered my own question.

So, what would you recommend as far as a cam, headwork and such, or just can the ram ond go high rise?

By the way, the car is a 1963 nova pro street roller.
