FS - Turbocharged 355
I am selling the engine out of my camaro since I have lost interest. Engine has been completely rebuilt and has been broken in and run on the dyno. It did over 300rwhp/400rw-ft/lbs with zero tuning just after break in on pump gas at only 6psi. Engine is barely broken in. With a little tuning it will easily go over 400rwhp.
Completely rebuilt Martin Engineering 350-1 turbo system on the motor also. Turbo was just rebuilt at J&R Turbos in Brampton. Its currently set at a low 6psi. Engine is complete and can be heard running. 50-60psi hot idle oil pressure. Turbo setup is emissions legal with a C.A.R.B. EO number up until 1985 on all small block chevs. No lag, at full boost by 2500rpm. Potential to make lots more power.

Engine also includes HEI ignition with accel coil, Holley 800cfm double pumper carb, Holley 130gph fuel pump, turbo system, etc. Complete from race oil pan to double pumper carb.
This is a nice mild street setup that was built for road racing but still make make insane power. Change the carburator to a Q-jet and this is a 100% smog legal setup. Your choice of carb - the holley or a stock non-computer Q-jet.
$4000 cdn obro - email me at RacerRickxx@hotmail.com for more details (like the dyno sheet, pics, etc) Motor was built by Wright Racing in Thornhill.
I am taking it back to the dyno in a week if the weather gets better to see what it makes now since it now has a good distributor in it. I expect a lot more HP.

Only piece of chrome on the entire motor - and it failed.
We got the engine in the car and running the day before. Broke it in, changed the oil, and went to the Dyno truth or Dare the next day. The car had no timing because the distributor decided to screw up and was running pretty rich. I have a new distributor in it, and have tuned it a bit.
I am going to WB02 it to make sure I have fuel and am going to tweak the boost a little. I should see around 400whp on pump gas just with a little tuning. Be going to the dyno in the next few weeks to run it. Should be fun.
