so ive got some money and a 360 yeahhh

a stock 1973 360( with j-heads) and it is complete minus the intake and carb. i got an intake and carb at a car show last summer and not sure if the carb is going to be good rebuild or junk. the intake says torker 340 on it and thats about all i know at this time as it is at a buddies house. Also my current oil pan is no good so that needs to be replaced as well and i know i need to deal with drivers side the motor mount issue and the balanced flex plate.

I wanted to build a stroker but thats not going to happen right now so want a good reliable motor and im perfectly fine if it sounds meaner/faster than it really is lol. the trans and rear came out of a factory v-8 74 swinger and my 70 swinger has a 1969/318 in it now. its pretty much a street car that will prob be run hat you brung one or twice a year at the track when the guys go

So whats the biggest cam that can be used with a stock j-head setup or a budget valve train setup for the j-heads to run something a bit bigger.I will prob do a 30 over on the block and the rest is up in the air.

I have 1500.00-1800.00 to spend and a buddy that owns/runs a machine shop and can do whatever i want. He and most others in my area are more chevy guys so i trust the thoughts/opinions here very much.

thanks in advance for any help or ideas.
