First and for most you need to be detailed in your goals.

Just for entertainment purposes here is somewhat a dated list of 108 SBC combos:

Ryan's Small Block Chevy Stroker Engine Combo Page

The reason or well one of them,for forums like this is the comic books like Hot Rod,Popular Hot Rodding are not anything like the real street experiences that you get from members here.NEVER LOOSE SIGHT those magazines are in business to sell the parts of the advertiser's.It is a fact of life and you do need to be able to read between the lines of those articles.

That said,give us more to work with to your goals.

A cam like 454 said with a valve lift of .440 to .455 ish.You will need a very good 4 bbl carb.If you have the quadrajet from the 76,use that if its in good shape. A performer intake manifold,make sure your carb fits. I would try for 9.2 compression ration but not higher.headers and full length dual exhaust,at least 2 1/2 inch diameter

I think a good starting point would to ascertain the current condition of his 40 yr old 350 and then get the casting numbers off the heads it currently has on it.Is it still in a car for a compression test,what is the oil pressure,is there any problems that make him want to rebuild it??. Those things need our attention long before we start doing cam swaps...........don't ya think??.
