If your suspension is not bad I wouldnt change anything, and with the engine do you want build sheets? What do you want, street demon, track racer, decent on gas? Tell us everything you expect.

How much are you willing to spend?
Are you planning for N2O or charging the vehicle?
What is good performance to you?
(In my mind decent performance is around 350hp for a 350sbc)

The piston was removed b excuse the guy who has it was gonna replace them but he had got rid of the car and has the engine in his garage its from a trusted friending of the family engine is clean and everything and it was running when he took it out and as far as n20 most likely not and maybe charging it way later down the road rite now I'm just looking for some peoples opinions on what to do something thsts not crazy expensive but not cheap either

Are you good with a wrench? I will send you a build i used,once i find it. Are you planning on heads aswell? A good pair of aluminums will run you a pretty penny?
