350 block limits?
So what are the realistic limits of a stock non DX 350 block that won't be subjected to lots a drag strip lauches? More of a dyno queen , cross country cruiser, with occational Goodguys auto cross thrown in? Thinking stroked crank, EFI and a small centifical blower like Procharger or looks like Torque Storm is making a kit for Olds motors now. Not looking to set any records just something to raise the eyebrows of the LSswaptheworld crowd. I'm thinking max 8-10 lbs at 500-600 hp range.

The weight and strength of the rotating mass is your first priority. You can make mid-500s without a blower using one of my stroker Cranks, it’s not that hard to do. And I can tell you that Crank is stronger than just about anything else available for a small block. Couple that with a five main halo and you’re on your way.

4.00” billet stroker. I make mention of it on my website, newoldsperformance.com but most of the info on it is here on CO. I’ve done a few builds with them already, the last one made 528hp and over 570lbft of torque.
It had an even bigger effect on power than I thought it would.
