Re: biulding 350 sbc
You could build a 383 stroker and get the HP your looking for and lots of torque pretty easily but if you do not want to go that route I would probly upgrade the cam, heads, rockers, intake, carb, and a nice set of headers.

Re: biulding 350 sbc
streetable is relative, everyone has their own definition, I consider my motor to be mild, and I'd be happy with a ZZ572 on a daily driver if I could afford it and the gas.

Re: biulding 350 sbc
As already mentioned you could go with a stroker or you could also go the Edelbrock route, if I remember correctly there is a power package specially designed for ant desired engine..

Re: biulding 350 sbc
I love my 383 Stroker. In fact I just finished one for my new truck. Just keep the compression to 9.5 and use a cam that is 218-224@.050 duration and you can easily make that power and drive it all day long!

Re: biulding 350 sbc
I'm in the same shape of trying to decide which way to go on the engine.
I have a Edelbrock intake and my ?? is will it work on the Vortec heads? I got aset stck set of heads but nothing fancey about them. Also have a new Vodo cameshaft, the block is 40 over w alum keith black pistons. Just got to make up my mind about the heads selection now! Good luck on ya build.

Re: biulding 350 sbc
^^^ No. Intake is not compatable. Vortec heads are a great upgrade though. Best bang for the buck.

Re: biulding 350 sbc
Might want to move this over into the Engine section...
Budget is really the driving question here. Overall, if you're starting from scratch your best deal is a used Vortec long block. |
