290HP Crate Motor Numbers
Where do they get 290HP from and what kind of fuel setup and exhaust are they using when they achieve this? Reason I ask is because I am thinking about buying a 290HP Crate 350 from Summit and would like to try and get 350HP out of it for my El Camino but want to know how they get 290HP and what I would have to do to achieve 350HP?
I am guessing swap the cam, headers, aftermarket intake manifold, 600cfm carb, etc? Will that even get me to 330HP? I would like to do this without changing heads of course.
I'd appreciate any information and suggestions on this. I do have a 355 in the garage now but I'd really like to stick that in my 63 Chevy II wagon since it will have a LT4 roller hot cam and Vortec heads, etc.www.streamlineautocare.com
If you wan't something done right, then you have to do it yourself!
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
