Stocker engine choice

The 350....Natural N add weight to O....the 400 is a 2bbl

yea I know just was wondering what you guys thought on which motor and why.

greg fulk · 07-31-2011, 08:53 PM

400 with 2bbl would be a bad deal. I think the 71 350 @ 270 in your car is the lowest rated Hp of any Chevy 350 4bbl. The 487 heads are a pretty good head everything else is normal 350 stuff. I'm not sure on the pistons in that engine though.

Change the tail lights and 350 2 barrel 993 heads - Q/SA
400 is HORRIBLE

Run it in O with the 350/ 4 bbl . Easier to start there.

The 350/4 barrel would be fairly inexpensive to build and fairly easy to make it go .5 under. Built right it could go 1.0 or more under.
