alright. i have got a 350 motor it's in my camaro. i plan on doing a edlebroke. preformer intake. to replace my aluminum. gm intake. a holley 750 carb. and a new cam. and heads and headers. what else do you think i should do.?? i plan on just tearing everything apart and just lighting it up a bit and seeing how it runs

 

I guess thats about it for the motor lol

Get the RPM, what cam do you have in mind ?

What are your plans for the car ?

 

Why are you replacing a factory intake with an intake designed to be a factory replacement? (by the way, it's edelbrock)

I suggest making extensive use of the search feature. It saves on the silly repetitive questions often asked by newbies.

 

SORRY i didn't seach o well. no i was wondering on more of like what cam or heads would be good with each other i already have the intatake and carb chosen. so that leaves the heads cam valuve train. crank pistons conecting rods. and other stuff i would like to get some input on and sorry for not beeing a l33t(leet) as you but i thought i'd ask. this i will be for a daily driver. that i would like to run about a 12.5 -.8in the 1/4 so please help kinda want this to be more of a high end car. the intake is only good to 5500 but i can always find a diffrent one i'm just getting a good deal on it thats all. thanks

 

You won't dip into the 12's with the Performer intake, at least, not logically. Get a Performer RPM, preferably AirGap design. The intake needs to compliment the rpm powerband made by the cam. No 12 second 1/4 cam has an idle to 5500 powerband, nor anything close.

Define a budget.

 

umm bugget would be. umm well i duno yet not willing spend a shyt load of money but i'm gonna be doing this over all winter so. i can save for parts and stuff. so go with the rpm air gap intake. and what size cam should i get??

 

depends on what you define as a ****load, but anything thats gonna run a 12.5 in these cars isnt gonna be cheap... keep things in mind like SFC's, a tranny that will take the power, suspension, and most likely a stronger rear. Decide on what heads your gonna use first then pick a cam.

 

Maybe in the 1/8th.. :lala:

 

ok thanks. i aprrecate the replys. that are close on to topic and acctully help slove problames.or are just good advice. i'm getting a 12 blot rear. all new suspenion and rebuilding my t-5 with stronger parts and i'm gonna brace that. and sfc i already have just gotta put them on

 

Cool, just making sure you had a plan for that kinda stuff, a lot of people dump all their money into an engine and forget about everything behind it.. the 12bolt should hold up quite nicely, if built right so should the t-5, if not it really doesnt matter, they run about $150 around my way, I just run em til they decide to blow apart, I've had my current WC unit for a little over a year now and no problems as of yet.

 

Machine for a 383
Callies/Cola/Crower 4340 crankshaft
Carillo/Oliver connecting rods
JE/Ross/Wiseco pistons
Iskenderian full solid roller valve train
AFR 220 heads
Victor intake
850 cfm Demon carburetor

Too some thats not much of investment. To others, it is. Perhaps now you see the importance of setting a budget. Until you do, it is hard for anyone to recommend much of anything.

But yes, like 89 said, make sure that once you make the power, you can put the power to the ground. As far as the engine is concerned, if AFR is out of the question, take a look at say Dart or World castings. They are better than stock, but not as steep as AFR. Hydraulic roller cams are probably of the best to run as they can be had for so many applications. Retro fit kits are available. A comp cams "K" kit might be something to consider (cam, lifters, springs, retainers, locks, valve seals, timing set, assembly lube). Any old rotating assembly will do as far as crank and rods. Pistons, hypereutectics will be ok, forged is obviously more desirable. As for the connectingi rods, take them to a shop and have ARP wav-loc bolts installed (requires the rods to be resized). For the rest, its just parts with no real aspect to them (bearings, oil system, etc).

 

Build a sound lower end, ie. use a reputable machine shop and check all clearances. You don't need a forged crank or high dollar rods. Your on a budget so I would go with the lt4 hotcam, vortec heads/rpm intake..... This should get you in the twelves.

 

ok thanks guys
