A question for all the "rocket" engineers.

The one with the biggest carb and the most compression in the smallest car! Now will somebody please build something!

Then, the guide is wrong. They were 305"s, there were millions of them.

The guide is just incomplete, combo never submitted or approved.

MikeMoller,go to guide for 1986 truck engine blueprints specifications, looks like it was approved on 4-19-11 in yellow 350 165hp. Tom

The 350 in the guide is a dish piston low compression motor not a flat top motor.

Tom Moock · 06-11-2012, 08:00 PM

FrankB, same piston as my 1978 malibu wagon 287 hp if i raced my wagon with a 350 motor. Tom

The truck motor is a 8.2 to 1 motor the car motor is 10.3 to 1 . The deck height is different on the 2 motors.
