1970 350 specs

[toddshawii]

I bought a 350 from a 1970 1 ton truck with 12 inch clutch. The Id # is V1025TBB. I have found that it made 255 hp from Factory. I cannot locate any other specs. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. I am looking for any info on torque, compression ratio or cam specs. Thanks.

TQ was a tad more than the HP rating. If it's a worn out 40 year old engine it will need a rebuild and all the factory numbers won't matter after that. If you're planning on installing it as is... I would plan on pulling it out again later on and rebuilding it.

Unless you're trying to rebuild it to exact factory specs for a 10-point perfect restoration.

Thanks gary.... that was less than helpful. I fully understand the condition of my worn out motor and it's no where near needing a rebuild. Perhaps I just do things differently than you. I was looking for some specs to help with cam selection. I'm gonna cam my worn out pos. And run the dog poo out of if. Like I have been for the last six years. It will just be faster now.
But if I find a bunch of money I want to waste on unecessary parts I will run out and rebuild it. I'm not running at the track every weekend so stock worn out components will work, just fine.
