I have a 71 chevelle that I want to build a engine for. The engine that I have in mind is a 30over 350 chevy.
Casting # 3970010
Engine Code V0821TJD
From what I can tell its a 1974 160 bhp 4 bolt main engine. The tranny that I have is a Turbo 350. This car will not be a daily driver nor am I planing on doing any serious racing ( aside from the ocassional stop light sprint). Id like to build a engine that makes power from near idle to about 5500 rpm and makes 300 to 350 hp at the rear wheels. Fuel mileage is not a concern as this will not be a daily driver. Id like to also keep costs down as much as possible. I guess I'm looking for a direction to go with
this as its my first solo attempt to build up a engine. Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Are the hp #'s im after realistic ? Can I accomplish this using say domed pistons with these stock heads, a mild cam and good intake and carb? Can I use vortec heads and intake with dished or flat pistons to get close to thoughs #'s? I know what results I'm after but I don't know the best and cheapest way to acheive them..... Thoughts?
