hopefully i can get it in by winter gets here. it aint going to be much just somthing to get me around. i was woundering how much power ill be making. 350 .30 over performer rpm intake,holley 650 double pumper or would a 600 be good ,
not much of a cam but it has
int.440 lift exh.440 lift, 882 heads o well, roller rockers, 9.5 compression. thanks

 

not much, maybe even less than not much, but that shouldn't really matter as long as it looks nice.

 

As an interested, but uneducated Limey, how much is not much? 200, 300 bhp??

Mark.

 

i think you would be lucky to get 300bhp running no accessories at all.

 

it will be over 200hp though right

 

Well, I have a .030" 350 with flat tops, pistons are .045" in the hole, with 76cc 882 heads, it's only about 8.3:1 CR and I am running a Comp 268XE cam, Wieand action plus dual plane, and Q-jet.

It's in my S10, the cam's really mis matched to the CR but it was the first SBC I had put together at the time, though I have built lots of other engines.

It rear wheel dynoe'd 201hp@5000 and 248 ft/lbs of torque@3400. Pulls really hard 2500-5000, but then falls flat rapidly as the heads don't flow over 5000. Figure 20% drivetrain loss and it's around 240hp at the crank. It is reliable, I have about 35,000 mile on it, lots of long trips and 1/8 mile dragstrip passes, I blew a hole in the rad and the temp gauge didn't work reading steam as it lost coolant so fast, I got it hot enough to discolor the paint on the block but it cranked right back up when cooled down. I haven't been able to kill it and lord knows I have tired.

If yours has a calculated 9.5:1 CR and roller rockers it'll do maybe 15 horse more than mine. You can always swap heads in the future and get more out of it. But it should make 250-270 or so at the crank. In any case it's going to feel like a top fueler compared to the tired 305 you used to have. Enjoy it.

Hey ede. Not trying to ruffle any feathers but why not just a straight answer.

 

I'd like to think you'll be at 300hp or a little more at the flywheel.That may not be a whole lot compared to some of us,but don't let some of these sarcastic bastards ruin your fun,a 300 hp mill in a 3rd gen is still pretty fun,and will make a great driver.Just enjoy it,I'm sure it's a ton better than anything GM chose to drop in for us.Good luck,sounds like a fun little driver

 

ok, no problem, when i said not much i meant 213 HP

 

Ede. I know with the info supplied that you can't give an exact figure, but you could have said between 200-250.

 

Thanks for the info guys.

Mark.
