Looking for tech info, newby to forum.
 
First Camaro, 1979 5.0, turbo 350. Looking for advice on upgrading from stock heads and cam to performance heads and roller cam.

Thanks!

I think,
a set of Summit Racing alum heads, a camshaft simular to GM's LT4 Hot Cam, roller lifters for a 4.3L V6, XXXX1120 P/N as they are the same height as stock tappet so you can use the stock pushrods, and a lifter retainer plate, spider plate by generic terminology and a roller timing chain.

How rude of me, Welcome to the Club!

Thanks, also trying to figure out what heads and cam I can buy for my 305 that I can use on a 350 if and when I upgrade to 350 block. Might as well wear out the 305, while I hunt for a 350 block.

You have to watch out for the heads chosen as 305 is a smaller bore and with large valve heads, the intake hits the block.
