1984 corvette 350 cross fire

i just got a 1984 corvette with the cross fire tbi motor, and had a couple questions for you guy. I come to you looking for help because the info i get here is right on the money.

car has 150000 miles, and i dont want a hot rod. im not going to beat on the car alot just want somthing to hang with the tune port 350, and maybe lt1 if im lucky.

i have heard the heads and intake are just on these cars very restrictive, so i want to put my camel backs i have on the motor. the heads are 2.02 intake and 63cc chambers, would they work?
also a rpm performer or torker two intake ( i have both intakes) and a new edelbrock 600 carb.


i also have a cam will get specs on it asap.


would these mods work for the motor? i have never messed with a crossfire, so dont know what will work.


let me know any info you all have on the 84 crossfire motor and mods that i can do.

What casting camel humps many dont have any accessory bolt holes
Unless they are ported they dont move much air but probably a little better than what you have.


What budget, what expectations before going any further?

Re: 1984 corvette 350 cross fire

I have had an '84 vette engine in my z28 since 1994
-it has proven to be one tough and reliable engine
Rework and porting of the intake manifold and a mild
port job on the heads resulted in a big increase in power
even with everything else stock-very satisfied with the
power after the mods.
Also there is the "renegade"C/F manifold avalible...

Once you take the crossfire intake off it is no longer a crossfire
Just another regular 350 SBC so anything that works for a SBC applies to your engine

Run your proposed parts combo over on Tech/ general Engine dept
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tech-general-engine/

and see what guys there say
