1980 Corvette 350
I hope I'm in the right place. I recently (a year ago) bought an 1980 vette with the original 350 in it. I been straightening it out and now she runs pretty good although overheats in the summer. Here's my question: I like to go fast. I was thinking about dropping a 427 in it and port it. (no air blowers for me). In your opinions would you rework the 350 (new heads/cam etc) or go for the larger motor? Money is an issue so the larger Engine would have to wait until I could buy all the parts. The 350 is sitting here (less costly). I recently lost my viper/supercharged SRT Dodge tuck and I was wanting to get my car up to over 200mph like the truck was. It will do 150 now with no problems.
Thanks for your opinions.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
