i have 2000.00 that i can spend im my engine i have a L98 350 tpi how can i get the best performance for 2 grand me and my friend will put the engine in but i need to have it built by someone or bought somewhare whats the best deal horsepower wise for the 2000.00 need some suggestions on what to do please help.325 rwhp is my main goal.

 

if you cant do the work yourself, you will need more money.

 

At least 3 times your number. A engine swap is like a bottomless money pit. Don't belive these low ball numbers by the driveway DIY people. Most are just putting in something that will barely run in most cases. Just remenber that horsepower cost money.
I know, went that route 3yrs ago.

 

look you guys dont know what your talking about i can buy a gm 300hp crate engine for 2000.00 i also have 2 different shops right now that will build my engine for 2000.00 that includes a lt4 hot cam,kb pistons,bored to 355C.I.,ported and polished stock heads,manley valves and eagle rods plus more their are many deals out their i just was hoping you guys would no of some but i guess not also you should stop telling people that an engine will cost them a fortune you will probably scare them off when its not true their are many good deals out their you just have to spend time and look also if you dont have ant good ideas for me please dont leave your opinion.

 

If you know it all, go for it. A great experience. Reread your post, needs a edit job.

 

look i dont know it all or i wouldnt be asking for some advice but if you think you cant build a hp engine for less than 6000.00 than you know what you are talking about anyway i dont want to argue with you i just need some cheaper ways to make horsepower if you know any please let me know thanks.

 

$2000 is a small budget for over 300rwhp. it can be done, but only with good deals. I would start looking around for decent deals and buy a 350 shortblock, buy some vortech heads, and intake, and a decent carb, that should be right around 2 grand if your lucky. If setup right you could hit your 325hp mark.

but IMO if you want to go fast, save for a little longer, and it will become easier to reach over 300hp.

goodluck with it

 

$2000 to make 325 RWHP, you may have the motor. But what about the other items?? Misc engine parts (never ends), Headers, intake, torque convertor, new exhaust, tranny & rear end work.

Now you never did say what car this project was going into?? Or
what condition it is??

A lot of questions???

 

i want to get the engine done first and then get some of the other stuff i have alot of bolt ons allready and the tranny is done and the Hp fuel pump is in the only thing i need is the stall converter but for now i want the engine and it has to be with the TPI im not goin to use a carb ever i will get the base ported and the plenum is ported allready and i will get the after market runners down the road. thanks for trying to help me guys i see we are getting somewhare now.i was thinking 355 with aluminum heads 10:0:1 compression,eagle rods,KB pistons,1 5/8" headers allready bought,3" exhaust. what do you guys think?
