Make 350 powerful without making it a 383

[ManwithNoName]

I just had my 355 dyno'ed at the shop today & it put out 432hp/440TQ vortec heads at 10.95:1. I know you're going with he 383 but you can still make really good power with a 350.

I wish these Dyno'd engines or chassis Dyno'd stuff also make it to the strip.
A few passes down the track is easier than Dyno pulls. And a hell of a lot more fun!

And of course post back here with all the numbers.

Mine will make it to the track eventually....I just have to get her back on the road first.

Sounds good, i have a new edelbrock performer intake. The black powder coated one. I was thinking about just getting edelbrock heads to compliment the intake manifold. The machine shop told me it would be 475 for all the machine work plus acid wash. But then they said if i wanted them to put everything else in like the crank...it sould cost an additional $350. I may see if the auto skills center on base will help me put in the crank, pistons etc. i really wanna learn this stuff myself. So i can bettter skilled beyond rotatig tires and changing starters.

It really is as easy as rotating the tires.
You just need the Right tools.

I'm also stationed at ft Benning. unless they got a brand new one, don't trust the torque wrenches at the skills center! they are precision tools being used and abused by unskilled hands. most parts stores will have a cheep one for $30-$40. probably only good for 2 or 3 rebuilds then get a new one

Most rods unless they have been ground are not considered a stroker rod and you may have cam to rod clearance problem. Is the cam a small base circle cam?

Those cam bearings are a stock replacement if you ever decide to with a bigger cam and better springs those may not handle the task, The CHP-8 is considered a performance cam bearing.

Good luck with your build.
