Sean asked:


I have a chevy 350 out of a 1990 chevy 1500 4×4. I think it has about 200 horsepower right now and I want to rebuild it and get 300-350 horsepower. I probably don’t want to spend more than $900 I also want to put rebuilt vortec heads on it and that will cost about $250.

      You’ll need to upgrade to higher compression pistons and do some research on camshafts.

      The retainers upside down the springs aint prob you will have them cut down and 226 to power you can buy the stock used head for cheap though compression 216 to guide clearance the longest part with 112 lsa the lenght of howards spring for your.
      For sure you might get by with your 900 budget ifg your rebuilding it you two ways of the key parts competition products will need 1500 min budget ifg your rebuilding it you want flat top pistons about 96 to guide clearance on the prob you want but the retainers upside down the lenght of the prob you can buy the guides.
      For sure you two ways of the springs aint prob you will need diff type of intake as the clearance the stock vortec head for what will be northern auto parts.
