I have a 350small block in a 1985 s10 ext.cab i would like 500-600+How much would it cost to do it?
I guess they never read How To Build MAX Performance Chevy Small Blocks On a Budget when they were kidsThat book teaches you how to make major power out of using stock headsa 2 bolt 350 will live up to 500hp as long as you use ARP bolt studs and a 4 bolt can last up to 900hpThe newer LS series engines are 6 boltEver wonder why people can get 1,200hp out of them with out blowing the engine I can teach you How to build big power low-budget nitrous motorCore: Swap meet 350 block(already cleaned) Block: Four-bolt 39700010 truck block bored .030 over decked 9,000 Pistons: Forged Ross flat top (off the top pistons) Head Gasket: Felpro Final Compression 10:1 Crank: Low-mileage factory forged and ground -0.020 Rods: Used Crower 5.7s from swap meet Oil Pump: Stock reworked; MMS Pan: Moroso Cam: Crane duek patter part no 113801 Lifters: Crane Regular Valve train: Isky Aluminum 1.6 intake, 1.5 exhaust; Isky pushrods; MMS timing set Heads: 041s Ported for N2O use; Bronze guides; Screw in studs and flat milled Intake: Victor JrWith Plate Nitrous kit mounted on it Carb: Reworked 750 Holley to 820cfm Air filter: KN Ignition: HEI With MSD module 20 degree total with nitrous, 32 degree without nitrous Plugs/Cables: MSD Headers: Walker 1 3/4 with 18-inch collector extentions Mufflers: Open Exhaust Parts: $2,422 Labor: $544 Total: $2966 I origanly used this same set up from How To Build MAX Performance Chevy Small Blocks On a Budget for drag racing and ported N2O injection for only one stage and it made 775hp on the dyno and running in the 7 seconds.The engine only lasted about 80passes but I have all the info writen down so I can just build the engine againThis was back in 1997 so if i were to do it again it would cost near $4000 today but still a lot cheaper than what they others were saying and for more powerYou should print this info.
