looking4info:Super Chevy - 335 stroker Camaro ´88


It´s 1988 Camaro, project Silver Streak.
There isn´t any 1998´s or early 1999´s in their website past issues section so I can´t find the one where they build the engine. The latest I could find about this project is October ´99.

Does anyone have that particular article and could scan it and post it to "Magazine Articles" in this site or e-mail it to me. I would really appreciate it. Or tell what issue it´s in so I could try to find it (which is REALLY difficult in here ).


Thanks,
Make

Well if u r looking to build this engine, in a word DON'T!!!
I built a 335, and after adding up all my receipts, I found I could've purchaced a ZZ4 for $300 less .Does this mean I'm not happy with the engine? On the contrary I'm very pleased with it. Tho I am thinking that it's pretty much maxed out (for a street driven car with all power accy's like A/C, etc).
If u are still wanting to build a motor like this u might want to contact Golens Engine Service at www.golensengineservice.com they list a 330hp 335 small block for $1999 assembled, and with a lifetime labor warranty. It's not on the web site but if u email them they get back to you fairly quickly.
Good Luck and HTH

I´m now gathering info on various ways to uppgrade my car. 335 is one option.
Because of the unreasonable legislation regarding car repairs in here, there in no way I could change the engine, transmission and rear-end, legally that is. I could change 1 or maybe 2 of them but not all three. But the internal parts can be changed.It´s sad but true.
I really want a T56, and one option I´m thinking of is 335-T56-rebuild orig.rear-end or ´89-´92 rear-end w/ disc brakes combination.

What parts did you use to build your 335?

parts I used:
Basically I used Powerhouse's kit except I had them change a few things, forged pistons for one (10:1 cr figured I would need forged), this is the kit the Super Chevy used to build their engine (they used a 2 piece rear seal non roller cam block so the kit is considerably cheaper).
Heads: I used World S/R 305 torquers,with the 1.94 1.50 valves
Cam:Comp Cams 264HR. Your cam should be cheaper because u have flat tappets not roller like I do. I also used the Comp Cams OE replacement roller lifters, and the Magnum rocker arms (1.52 ratio)
Intake: Stock TPI ported per Vaders tech article, stock 19# injectors cleaned and flow matched by cruizin performance.
Well those are the highlights, if u want any more info let me know
BTW Super Chevy dynoed their combination at 301.7 peak hp and 387 ft lbs of torque, I think I can beat that if I can figure out how to program my own proms
