Found a GREAT engine combo list

I did a search for engine combos one time and came up with this - over 100 tested combos w/350s and 383s!!
Most combos are from reputable magazines like Chevy HP and Carcraft.

Here is the site:

Combo #1 is what I'm building, except it's not as big of a cam... and yes, if my calculations are correct, I will be doing right near 400 ft/lb of Torque...

and torque is king from light to light

Thanks for the site mdricken. Of course now I am stuck between LT1 swap and 383 buildup. The 383 may be alot more expensive though.

Wow, combo #1 is identical to mine except I have more lift due to the 1.6 ratio rockers.

engine combos

I'd say combo 103. With that compression ratio (9.0:1) it's still good enough to cram between 4 to 6 psi of boost (low boost, just to be safe). Even more insane torque and horsepower.
