Vette(s): C3 1979 L-48 th350 96000miles
I would like this engien configuration:(on corvette 70's)
350cv à 5600trs/min
52,2 mkg à 3600trs/min
So what intake mainflow,carb,camsaft, pistons i must take to have this engine config |headscratch|


Ps: I have a 350ci L48, th350, a positraction 3,55:1, tires 225/70/15 (but 255/60/15 can be used)
Ps2: with this ratio it will be a daily car or a dragster?

Nowadays it isn't very hard to get 350 HP from a 350. You should go to http://www.chevyhiperformance.com/techarticles/71298/ for a look at some basic combinations. They also have a lot of tech articles you would be interested in reading. http://www.chevyhiperformance.com/techarticles/

I'm going to use vortec heads and edelbrock performer manifold with either a Crane H-272 or Comp Cams XE262 cam, and should be in the 350 horse range with a lot of torque.

BTW, hood clearance with most aftermarket intakes is an issue if you have the stock small block hood.

Have fun, and hello across the pond! Joe |thumb|

I forgot to add this will be a daily driver, not a dragster, so you can enjoy it more often.
