I recently acquired a 1978 K5 Blazer with a 400 and a TH350 trans. I'm not looking to do anything major to it but I want to make it sound good and it would be nice if I could get some decent power out of it as well.
I'm interested in things such as cams and head work, but I am new to the V8 world and am just looking for some options and opinions.
Also, I would like to know what is a good route to go for exhaust. I want something that sounds like a hot rod (as much as possible anyway), not that crappy popping noise that a lot of Chevy's have (I imagine with straight pipes).
H-Pipe? X-Pipe? Size of exhaust, type of mufflers, etc. I like low rumbly, not high raspy.
Thanks for any tips! Like I said, just trying to get a feel for my options and gain some knowledge.
