Swapping parts from 335 to 383 question

I have an 89 iroc-z 305 with 335 powerhouse kit comp 269 extreme cam dart iron eagle 67cc 1.94 heads hsr intake 24 lb injectors shorty headers custom single 3" exhaust. I acquired a 87-95 2 bolt 5.7 block and thinking about putting all parts from 335 buying new pistons and machine and clearance 5.7 block to accept it. What all else would I need to make it all work and what power levels should I expect? Also would 2 bolt hold it?

Re: Swapping parts from 335 to 383 question

You will Need a Mandatory Tune.. Or find a prom from a 89 350. Still needing a Mandatory tune.
you still have open variables. for Power.. so far 390 - 440ish on flattops? dome? dished? 2v / 4v relief? I would highly recommend. Quality Steel internal components with Splayed caps. Upgrading to a 383 the 24lbs injectors are fine for a 350- 26 - 30lbs for a 383- upgrade your FP. The HSR is a great upgrade. And loves more timing.

and a new balance for the rotating assembly...

which may be more expensive than a 383 crank kit

Re: Swapping parts from 335 to 383 question

I was thinking flat tops 2 v relief. My crank and rods ought to work just need rebalance with new pistons. I bought them from powerhouse in stroker kit. Gonna reuse cam. It's hydraulic roller comp extreme energy 269. For tune who does that and could 305 computer work with it?

Re: Swapping parts from 335 to 383 question

That ECU will work. Just Fine. It is the same through 89- I would HIGHLY suggest finding a LOCAL tuner. Data logging. And live sessions. You could use the $6E bin. A few more modern options.
