How to post pics: When writing a message, scroll down and use the "attach file" option. Where possible, a photo sharing service can be used such as Flickr, Imgur etc. The image location (usually ending in .jpg) can be copy and pasted between the ][ brackets that appear when you click the 'Img' button (you can find this button at the top of the message box).

How to post youtube vids: Click on the 'youtubeHD' button at the top of the message box and in the middle of the ][ brackets that just appeared, copy and paste everything from the youtube web address that appears after the = sign i.e if this is the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cNqaPSHv0 just copy "K2cNqaPSHv0").

welcome to CCCUK website!

I would look at Edelbrock manifold kit - the stuff is well bedded in and should work out of the box!

As far as the carb I would defo go quite small- a 390 Holley gives great torque with good mpg!

I'd recommend Edelbrock too, They likely do a kit for that particular combo already (I think I'm the one that spotted your post on PH), and you have later 3rd gen heads if my memory works...

eta:

Found this on the edelebrock site:
Chevrolet 262-400 Small-Block V8
PERFORMER - FOR 1987-95
CAST IRON CYLINDER HEADS (idle-5500 rpm)
Designed for street 262-400 c.i.d. Chevy V8s that have heads with canted center bolt holes. #2104 is stock replacement/street legal part for 302, 327, 350 V8s with OEM 4-bbl. carb.; except stock equipped EGR. #3706 is stock replacement/street legal part for 305, 350 V8s with OEM 4-bbl. carb.; 1987. Both accept late-model waterneck, air-conditioning, alternator, H.E.I. and have rear water crossovers. #2104 accepts exhaust-heated chokes. For 1987-95 stock aluminum heads use #2101. Will not fit Chevrolet Bowtie or LT1 heads.
