Thread: Making A Small Block 350 As Fast As It Can Be

Yeah,I saw no difference in the old designs than a modern turbo,supercharger type setup.Other than the fact you could shut it off.But how well it actually worked ???? they aint around no more! !!anything that works usually sticks around in some form. Heck ford is changing the cam timing with oil pressure ,I am sure some electronics and solenoids would make it work.Although the old motors were about 50 ,60 hp and the forced air uped that to 100 to 120 hp.50 percent increase on an very inefficient design.14,760 cc 4 cyl motor may of had sumthing to do with it too!!

Hey fellas I need some heads with 190cc intake runners and 64cc chambers should I invest my money in my stock heads or, Because I want this to be a Edelbrock Performer RPM motor I could get a set of those heads but they dont make a performer rpm head as I want it. What should I do

WHy 190 cc if you want an Edelbrock Performer RPM motor? Edelbrock has some pretty smart engineers, and they design their packages to work together.

well I went to a site to see some dynoed 383s and found a 503 h/p mtr and they said they used those heads and yeah I know Edelbrock designes their parts to work togeather would it even matter that the mtr didnt get that much air? So they make their parts work togeather does that mean you cant trick them out asn in port and polish, shave, and so on?

What it means is that an engine is a system. The parts need to work together. If you take heads that are designed for a certain displacement, camshaft, etc., and start "tricking them out," you're likely to mess up the system.

Question. Have you ever built a motor?

ok. and yes I have couple down and a 305, 350 and a 360 to go

and convert my other 350 to 383

if ur gonna use an edelbrock anything use an RPM air gap and a set of their heads. the air gap gave my car twice the bottom end pull it had with a strip dominator but it aint got twice the top end like the strip" did. i guess thats part of racing do you want more bottom or top end? cant have em both for cheap usually. ill get of my soapbox just thought id ramble for a bit ............scooter

um I think more bottom to mid
