Re: best year 350

I would go with an 87-up roller block if you have the option.

Solid advice.

There isn't any particular year that would be best for making 300 HP. There are several blocks to avoid, such as those with cracks, those with casting core shift, those mis-machined by the factory, etc. Typically early blocks, pre-roller.
