I am in the process of putting together a whole new valve train and induction system on my 88 Formula 350. It also has complete performance exhaust from the headers back and a rebuilt 700R-4 w/ shift kit and Holeshot 2000 convertor. The bottom end of the engine was rebuilt 20,000 miles ago to stock specs and with all mods I should have at least 350 hp. My real concern is that the bottom end of the engine will hold up alright with this much more power. Anyone have an idea?

 

350 hp is nothing for a stock bottom end in good condition.

 

should be no problem

 

Thanks for the input.

 

yea dude theres a guy running mid 10's on a stock l98 bottom end...

a stock l98 should take 500 horse without a sweat
