Default 350 Motor/Drivetrain Combo....What Do You Think??

Hello all, I'm kinda new to the world of Chevy's and might possibly be trading my current 92 RS for an 81 Z28. I've driven the 81 and I like the power it has for the street but was wondering what everyone here thinks of the motor/drivetrain combo. This build combo currently has less than 5,000 miles. Here goes.....

350 with 60's style 4 bolt main bored .60 over
Eagle Comp Bottom End
SRP Dome Top Pistons
195 ported stock 350 heads
Edlebrock Victor Intake w/matching cam
11.5 to 1 compression
Holley 750 double pumper/high flow mech. fuel pump
Turbo 350 Trans/3500 stall converter
4:56 Richmond rear gears
3 inch catted exhaust/Flowmaster 40's

This is all the current owner has given me as far as specs. I pretty much know the carb and exhaust are a little overkill and it could use some bigger heads but wanted everyone's opinion on this setup.

Big thanks for any help.....I kinda need it fast since I'm looking to possibly make the trade really soon.

How fast is she? Sounds like a pretty decent mid 13 sec combo if the compression is really 11 to1, you'll need some power to pull that heavy car. What brand heads? I would find out the cam specs. You want a good low end torque set up with a heavy car.

The current owner hasn't ran it so no idea of how quick it is. Heads are ported 350 195's and cam specs are 488 intake, 510 exhaust.

Wow! Thats a great street combo! Thats good for some low 13's on the street. If you want to go any faster, a bigger roller cam and aluminum heads will wake it up some. I'd say go for it!
