Yeah, 3 inch pipes will not hurt anything. Needing back pressure in the exhaust system is an old wives tale IMO. People have heard it repeated (mostly by car mag's) so often it became a fact.

By the way, Edelbrock does not make an RPM or Airgap intake for the 4 barrel 351C heads, so it's a good thing you decided not to buy one. Blue Thunder makes a good dual plane intake for 4 bbl heads. It's pretty pricey, though. Something like $425.
