ok i have an 86 350 out of an truck recently found out after rebuilding the carb this is an 80's engine and did have all the emmsions stuff key word DID and what can u do cheap and well don't have to be easy but fairly cheep to get more power out of it cause the heads are smog head i belive and i havea small cam to i'm not sure. planing on just taking motor out and just rippin it aprat or leave it in replace the head with vortecs or something not quiet sure but any suggjestions would be nice

 

First do some leak down and compression tests on the motor to find out if its any good. If it is just replace the heads and cam like you said. You might also want to replace the intake, and will have to if you go vortec.

 

if i wasn't going to go vortec what would be a good head for cheap so i wouldn't have to change my intake right now sorry 17yr old kid doing this on movie thearter pay but must say have the best car thier lol with all the POS car everyone else drives

Commas, periods and even the occaisonal capital letter never hurt.

 

ok!!!!! I'M SORRRRYYYY ,DOES THIS HELP. I'M NOT GOOD AT SPELLING OR ANYTHING U LIKE MAKING FUN OF MY LEARNING DISABILATEY HUH DO YOU. jk i know i need to work on it

 

Speaking of disabilities, yes, the cam in that 350 is probably fairly mild. Coupled with the fact that it's a flat tappet design, likely used dished pistons, and was likely mated with swirl heads, it would be good to replace all the parts above the crank.

 

For $400 you can put together an excellent flowing set of 305 heads that will work very well, even if you have dished pistons.
