318 build up

IIRC, his 98 is = to 93 here.

Build idea #1.

Replacement pistons (Badger) with a mild cam, 4bbl. intake 600 carb, small cam.

Build #2.

KB Hyperutecics with a zero deck height & a more agressive cam, headers.

Vauge descriptions I know, but more of a pathway to decide on.
What is the trans and gear ratio/tire size?
I know you said not race car build but sturdy & reliable is the course for the build. I'm just trying to get a deeper feel/understanding of where you want to be up.

To much cam kills a build. I'm wondering where (RPM) you want to end up at while cruising down the road.
