351 heads

Just put my 1984 351w in a machine shop to have the engine balanced. am almost ready to begin rebuild, Have purchased a lot of the parts but am still confused about a few important things:
Selecting after market heads, camshaft and intake manifold. I realize that they are interdependent but where to start? I'm guessing that head selection should come first
I want the 351w for a street rod with around 350 hp and mid level rpm power range. The best prices I have found online are on EBay What combustion chamber size do I use.? Any suggestions on comb. chamber size or heads in general appreciated.

What pistons are you using? Dished? Domed? Flat tops? That will be necessary to consider when selecting Head combustion chamber volume.

You don't say much about your street rod. How heavy is it? What transmission? What gear ratio?
