What are you putting it in?
It doesn't make much sense to specify one for a 1969 Camaro. There wasn't anything special about that 350. You can do a lot better with later stuff like http://rebuilt-auto-engines.com/cgi-...24107472034.00 with 083 heads. They'll put a nice cam in it if you ask. That particular engine is one-piece rear main seal and center bolt valve covers, and since they don't come with tin or even the rear main seal carrier, you'd better have that stuff available if you do go for that engine. But, those 083 heads are much better than anything they had in 1969.
