also the t5's out of camaros don't really like the power either.
I bought the 350 a couple of months ago from an old Army combat vet who has been building engines since 63'. Engine was rebuilt about 8 years ago (50 or 60K on it). He dropped an Edelbrock 3702 cam & lifters in. With all of the work he did, he claimed about 280-290 hp. I am probably going to drop on a new intake manifold and carb and get my father's mechanic to run threw again @ some point. I have a line on a Muncie M21 that is in need of a rebuild for $ 175.00 so, this might be the ticket
