Ok guys, this is my first post as a converted v8 guy so here we go.
I know little to nothing about v8s so be forgiving, I am used to the forced induction 4 bangers. So here is my question. I recently acquired a 1980 Malibu for a project car and I want to do nothing more then stick a small block 350 in there with a low profile blower and make a street / strip car out of it. Now realistically on my budget I dont know how many ponies I can make, but somewhere in that 450-500 HP range would be great! My question to you is what kind of motor setup do I need? My dad is a big Camaro guy and has a 350 sitting in his garage that came out of a bus. It needs a rebuild of course, but it seems like an good engine to go with. So what size of heads, carb, pistons, compression, rods, crank, cam, etc should I use for a descent street / strip setup. I know there are alot of factors, but any info is appreciated! Thanks!
John
