Don't think a 624 head lasted past 82 but I really don't care. Just would like to see engine specs before buying one.

Daran, it is a 350. You have to look under '86 Chevrolet Truck...it's under a separate heading.

Mark if you look in the tech guide you will see that the 165 HP is a 305.

Of all the dime rocket combos mentioned on this site during the last year, which single combo gives the best bang for the buck ? I'm talking a consistent combo which would be effected the least by weather changes, etc. Running a lower class stocker I see first hand how conditions affect my 2bbl. equipped motor, especially when the heat and humidity sets in ! A question for all the "rocket" engineers.
