350 build bottleneck???
I'm pretty new to the SBC game, most of my engine building experience has been just stock rebuilds and a couple 3800 supercharged performance builds. My question is what is my bottleneck gonna be with this build and what kinda numbers should I expect? Its a 350 bored 60 over cast number 14010207 going to use flat tops in it. My heads are 487's(76cc chambers) with 194 valves and a slight self done port job and gasket match. Edelbrock Performer intake, holley 650 double pumper, full longtube headers and 2 1/2 true dual exhaust. my cam with my 1.6 roller rockers is 512 intake, 520 exhaust 4/7 swap hydro flat tappet, and I got supporting springs for that lift. Going into a 78 elcamino...
Also this motor was previously rebuilt with that 60 over done but I can still see most of the crosshatch, would it be safe to just do a quick hone or is the block junk?
And whats with these sbc's grinding down the cam lobes? This one had about 7 lobes gone and the bottoms of the lifters looked like bowls. Reason I ask is the only other sbc I have messed with a 305 had done the same thing just not quite as bad...
Any help would be greatly appreciated with any of my questions...
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
