Hello everyone. I have a 70 z28 intake manifold and cam. I would like to build a 350 sb Chevy with 450 hp and use that intake and cam. Can it be done and if so, does anyone know what heads, crankshaft and carburetor I should use. I would sure appreciate some help and thanks.

I've often wondered if these horsepower claims are valid. I can't imagine there is some "magic intake" that will raise the horsepower that much let alone a cam that will.
I'm saying this because a modern V8 engine with variable valve timing and 32 valves has a hard time coming up with 450 horsepower.
People fear change because it threatens what they know, or what they claim to know. |
