What do you think of my new combo?

Hi guys, I just dropped in my engine after doing a head, piston and intake swap. What do you guys think I'm putting down power wise?


350 3970010 bored .030 over

TRW forged flat tops with valve relief

World Products Sportsman II's - 64cc, 2.02, 1.60, 1.5 rollers

Edelbrock Victor Jr

Comp Cams 286H Hyd Flat - 286/286, .490/ .490

Holley 750 mechanical sec

B&M Holeshot 3000 converter

GM 12 bolt with 3.73 gears



I'm swapping to a Lunati 295/295, .534/ .534 soon.

What do you think power is at now and will the cam make a big difference?

Thanks, Stephan.

It's a street car that sees the track once a month. I live on an Island in the caribbean so it won't be doing any highway cruises or that kind of stuff. I usually only take it out on friday and saturday night.

Ditch the single plan intake and get a dual plane.

You guys think that the cam swap will make a big difference? I think it will really compliment the heads and intake well. What do you think?
