    Question 74 vette 350 bottom end

     



    I have a 350 2 bolt main,from a 74 corvette. Edelbrock performer rpm heads 64cc and performer rpm intake , carb to match, edelbrock performer cam (not rpm). I put about 1000 miles on it and spun a rod bearing !!! Time to do the bottom end, I have a rotating assembly in mind from SPDC. Any info on this idea would be appreciated. pro or con, should Iiii go with a different cam ? What kind of HP am I looking at ? O yea, I am going .030 over on the bore and $1500.00 is my limit. First timmer on forum, Thanks Roger.

    Man. or auto. tranny?
    What is your stall speed if you have an auto tranny?

    auto trans 350 turbo I believe, I am getting 3.90 gears. I have original converter now, but am looking into a 2800 stall speed converter. My original ratio was 8.5 to 1 but the 64cc heads should have changed that

    The Combos for your ride are practically endless. Like Eric said, what do you want to do?

    20 years back I would rebuild. Now I would Crate.

    Whatchugonnado?
