hello everyone and thank you for reading my post and thanks in advance for any advice and or help. I have a 73 cutlass s born with a 4 speed and a 350. I am looking to build a hard running 350 for my cutlass want it to be a street car. I would like to get 450-500 horse out of this. 350 30 over lunati 60804 cam flat top Pistons e heads rpm intake 870 holly carb hooker super compheaders 3" exhaust 3:42 gear ratio. Please give me your advice this was my original plan for the car. Thanks again have a nice day.

 

It will not be an easy task to build a 500hp small block and keep good street manners. You should consider a big block before you start planning. JMO.

 

Any suggestions for a good 350 build ?

 

You can make 450 with a stroked/bored 350 without too much difficulty. But to do 500 gets that much more difficult.
I'd do a 380 stroker with really good heads etc. You'll make 450 with that combo and still be streetable. You'll lose streetability from there as you go up in hp unless you further increase the c.i.

 

Sure, start with a 455 and after that is easy to achieve your goal.

 

I'll ask the same question I ask every time this comes up. How much money are you prepared to spend on the engine and how much more are you willing to spend on the rest of the drivetrain behind this new engine?
