Yes the Chevy 350 is an easy toy to play with. The "cheap" part isn't always there though. It is however way cheaper than a 340, but there is a reason for that, a very good one!

The Chevy is really only a lot cheaper in the aftermarket heads, upgraded rocker gear, pistons and intake department. Everything else is ether the same or downright comparable in cost. With the above being a good bit more expensive, you would think and plan differently. Outside the box. Swap meets, horse trading or favors came into play.

As a young gun, I choose the MoPar since it was cheaper to own from the start since many did not want them. Since ownership was cheaper it gave me the same if not better overall chance on expenditures to go faster with stock heads.

Once you left the stock iron head territory behind, things got pricey since there was ether the Brodix (which IDK when that SB head came out...) or the W2 as the only option(s) available. At the time, my wallet would not accommodate a W2 set up. When the Edelbrock head first came out, I jumped on it.
