OK, after all of my thoughts, I want to put a 350/383 in my 91 V6 Firebird. So, I want to use this thread to answer some questions for me.

OK, I was looking through a Chevy High Performance magazine, and came to the double page ad that shows the performance catalog thats like 5 inches thick. Well, it shows like a SUPER MASTER REBUILD KIT with alot of stuff. It comes with like New Pistons, Rings, Cam, bearings, Rods, etc. Heres where my questions come in.

-Do I want forged? What is the power level when you want to go forged?

-When I look for a block, what year(s) should I look at?

-Do I want a 1 or 2 piece Rear main seal?

-Do I want 2 or 4 bolt main?

-Do I want I beam or H beam rods? Why?

-What length rods do I want? Why?

-How will I get my speedo/Tach/etc. to work? Can I just swap in any V8 cluster from a 91-92 bird?

-What are some good heads to get on a budget?

-What kinda gas mileage would I be looking at if I put say 400 HP to the ground with a carb?

Thanks for the help in advance. Sorry for asking so many questions

 

Wrong forum....Sorry

 

How much are you willing to invest on the engine and tranny? Your V-6 tranny will not bolt to a 350 engine.
