Engine build what should i expect

Ok guys, i'm hoping to pick upa used corvette 350 TPI.

I know a guy who has one with 75k miles on it and selling for $500. COmplete.


Now i wanan use the thing for a while unti i can get what i need.

But i wanan fully port and polish the heads.

run maybe 10.3:1 compression, and a 700-r4 out the back thats rebuilt.

I am thinking maybe a LT1 intake or some other sort to pick up the high end torque.

I want a reasonable high lift cam, nothing too loby, but i want you to be able to hear the lobes when i drive by.

So if i got a LT1 intake on a block running 10.3:1 compression, iunno, decent duration cam, i've always liked lt4 hotcam, and fully ported and polished aluminum corvette heads. Plus a rebuild 700-r4 out the back. What could i push out the wheels?

Sounds like a good setup although I dont think the Lt1 intake is worth the trouble, I would rather use the HSR. But with that setup I dont see why you couldnt make around 375hp at the fly and maybe 320 or so at the wheels. Good Luck.

why don't you get the engine then come back and waste everyones time answering your questions for a project that you'll never start of finish.
