Thread: 350 build up

Tweet

Elko and I understand "velocity". That where you're gonna kill the use of the engine when you really wanna improve the flow characteristics. Without bragging, I can make you motor turn up to and over 9 grand. Let's not forget the basics though. DO you really wanna turn 9 grand? Elko's got a better perspective on where he was going with his reply. You can do very very well at limiting this engine to a more respective rpm like 5500-6000 and when it's just right, you'll swear it's turning 9,000.

haha well sounds good. i just want a screamin ass motor that will bark the tires when i shift and light up the tires like none other

Focus on parts that put the rpm peak and the torque peak specs very close together and focus on good port velocity and low rpm torque production on a street based car and you have all you want.
Matching the components to all the same specs will insure you have a very responsive motor.....substitute on part for a mismatched high rpm part thinking this will get that little extra and it will cost you ........with the right parts you can wind it up in the rpms and still have a good street motor ,you just will not be makin any power or going any faster at higher rpms unless you use non street oriented parts ,which is what you do not want.

Build for low and mid RPM torque and leave the big horsepower numbers for the drag strip high revvers. As Eric suggested, that 500 horse stroker is probably well over 500 ft lbs. torque, and I would imagine it's making peak torque somewhere between 4500 to 6000 RPM!!!! Built right and maintained properly it will perform excellent and last a long time!!!!

do you think a stock 350 bottom end with a set of world 58cc heads torker 2 intake with matching cam and 750 edelbrock would work fine? if so how do you think it would run, bottom end torque and top end?

The 64cc chambers will put you right on the edge of running pump gas with the flat top pistons you have. Which world heads are you thinking about using? The S/R torquers?

The engine build I posted earlier would give you a good all around engine, one that would be good on the street or strip, on pump gas, and would do 12 second quarters in a medium sized car with good traction and the right gearing and stall converter.

Why do you want such small combustion chambers? Even with large dished pistons, it's difficult to get under 9.5:1 with 64cc heads. You want to stay under 10:1 or 10.5:1 even if you run a big cam if you have any aspirations of running pump gas. 64cc heads are the way to go, not smaller.

The 10.5 to 1 will run with 92 octane and alu. heads.

because i dont want a good all around everyday engine
