I think the ram rod 350 was pushing out those numbers...I think how you can get those numbers by some head work, maybe pistons but that depends on what 350 you have. Edelbrock intake , headers, x pipe upgraded ignition and you should be about there
You can get 350hp out of a non bored 350 easy. Adding 5 ci to your motor isn't really a power booster anyway, its just to clean up the cylinder walls. What you would want is about 9-10:1 compression. A set of 5,6,7a heads and a moderate camshaft. You probably wouldn't even have to do any head work aside from any repairs needed and adding valve springs to match the cam. Like mentioned above, you may have to change your pistons for that compression, I don't know what 350 you have or plan on getting. Different years had different compression ratios. Anyway, good cam, good set of headers, nice aftermarket intake and a good carb will get ya 350hp pretty easy.
This is from the Edelbrock website. Sounds like a good intro build without too much machine work. Buy the parts and get a good set of stock heads, or spring for the Edl RPM heads.
