Stock stroke 360 on the dyno

Ramm, If I may pick you brain?
I was lucky enough to come across a Russ Bartfield built 360 '76 block that was sitting on a shelf maybe 10+ years. Russ was one of the best builders in south Florida, Hollywood area when I was learning to drive/destroy cars. I heard he move to Arizona many years ago.
The engine has been balanced, bored .030, stock rod #3418645, a set of speed pro forged pistons #2380P. I believe its a stock stroke crank 3.58" and the .030 = 4.03 bore. the pistons top off just shy of the deck, maybe .035. it came with a Crane Cams Fireball 300A - 447 lift both with 222' intake and 232' exhaust duration. What cylinder head and intake/carb set up would you recommend? I was leaning toward the Edelbrock performer rpm. I would rather have a "TORQUE MONSTER" than a high revving engine. What can I do to Finnish this build to optimize it's torque potential without breaking the bank. Changing the cam wouldn't bother me. It will be going in my '70 Swinger 727 83/4 355, a Street and Show car, not a Race car.
Thanks

If your pistons really are .035" in the hole then you need to address that and get them either -.005" or closer to zero. If your pistons are Speed-Pro 2386's they have a 1.591" comp ht--You are going to have a hard time getting them to zero deck without a lot of deck milling. If your piston-deck relationship is what I think it is-then you absolutely need Magnum style cylinder heads either the EQ's or RHS's-Their closed, compact chamber will be of great benefit. You could do better with a modern cam grind-think Lunati VooDoo here-they really work well all around. Top it off with a good dual plane either the Weiand Stealth or Eddy RPM and a 650-750 VS carb. You should wind up with a real strong power curve that needs nothing more than common pump fuel. J.Rob
