Thread: H/C/I/carb on 4 bolt 350

Tweet

Awesome, thank you Glenn!
By the way I should specify, though I assume you guys have probably made the connection; I'm looking for 400 at the crank, which I believe would put me around 330 at the wheels (correct me if I'm wrong) while keeping it as streetable as possible. Nothing too anemic at lower RPMs. 350 rwhp is the real goal, but 330 should suffice, if it means a noticeable increase in driveability.
Basically I want to be able to hang with the H/C/I fox bodies around town.
On the 5.0 efi's pistons had to be notched to fit AFR heads. I'm guessing that's not the case for the sbc?
Also I was taught that Chevys typically like edelbrock carbs, whereas fords like holleys. Now that could very well be a bit of misinformation so if so then feel free to set me straight.
Also, that CR seems a little low. Would I be benefitted much by swapping in some higher comp pistons?

As for the tranny, it was a rebuild to oem spec so it will not handle the torque I'm hoping to make. Anyway, no problem I have great tranny builder (built my T56 to handle 500 and I attempted to break it for 40k miles plus with no luck) so I will get a quote from him on a performance rebuild, and if it's not worth it I'll go the route of a new built tranny and sell my stocker on eBay as suggested. Stall converter is a good idea, I will add that to the shopping list.
Also, any other must do mods I should consider?

Thanks again for the feedback!
