About 3 years ago I purchased a New GM Crate 350/290 long block (part # 809-19355658, along with HEI distributor, and Edelbrock Performer intake. I had an almost new Holley Avenger carb that was used. Lotsa other stuff to make the swap into my 1987 El Camino.
Here after almost 3 years and almost 5000 miles, the #5 cylinder appears to be dead. Along the way to those 5000 miles a quart of oil every 600 miles was required to be added.
With this news I am thinking of a rebuild for a little more power, maybe 350 - 400HP. I want to use this engine.... What would you suggest to be done?
Thanks
