Someday (when?) I will get my 350 started when I get the exhaust system on. But it sounds like I have what this guy wants. A rebuilt 350, 0.030" overbore, Crane replica of 300 HP cam, Performer intake, Edlebrock 650CFM carb and ceramic coated shorty headers with 1.6 ratio rocker arms. This is in front of a 700R4 and an 8" rear with 3.55 gears, all in a fiberglass '29 roadster probably at 2600 pounds. From what Pat said the 3.55 rear gear ought to be just right? The 1.6 rocker arms should give more lift but with the near stock timing of the 300 HP 327 and favor low rpm torque? The "882" GM heads have had a three-angle valve job, Z28 springs, polished exhaust ports and have been shaved to give 70 cc pockets with stock "eyebrow" pistons. The HP may only be 275 but the torque and gearing should be pretty good for a light car. Let's not forget the price of gas, so I am hoping for over 20 mpg, maybe 25?
