Im doing an enginge swap on my 87 z28 and ive been building a 350 for it. Im at the point where im trying to determine just how much power i want. Its going to be a street car that i might take to the strip some day if i get around to it. I want it to be able to run street tires and not have a problem getting traction but if i smash it i wanna spin tires. Some imput on hp ranges and some good head, cam, intake, and carb combos would be much appreciated. Thanks guys

 

A good cheeeep combo that seems to work REAL GOOD is flat-tops; Vortec heads with as little work as possible done to them, just new springs and a valve job if possible; a Comp XE262 or XE268 cam, or Lunati Voodoo 262; a Performer RPM; a Holley 750 manual secondary carb or a spreadbore 650 (list # 6210); and about a 2800 RPM stall converter. That's about 375-385 HP that you can drive to work dependably every day. Should cause enough of a traction problem that you'll want LCA reloc brackets.

 

awesome man thanks the for the advice do you have any idea how much money this will set me back?

 

Thats about the same combo I have haha. Unfortunently I am too in the process of doing a 357 swap. I have the flat tops, performer rpm intake, holley 750 double pumper, but I have world product heads, and a diff cam. My setup cost me about 1800-2000 dollars. Not sure if my heads are better than Vortec or not tho.
