A 350 500hp

[rizo3506]

So I have a 350 engine on my 1987 monte carlo ss it sounds impossible but can I make it 500 hp with that engine if so what kind of parts will get me there and what transmission will support it well. Any parts, answers, hints, ideas

First the frame and body will need reinforcing, G bodies were not built to take that kind of power.

what year, model 350?? could be done with a 383 or 400 block, good heads, serious fuel induction.... 8) imo a basic 350 sbc chevy 500hp is not possible? ... :shock: I have been wrong plenty of times though!!

I'm pulling 430 HP on a stock L-82 short block w/2.02 chevy iron heads, vic jr w/750, and comps 306 flat tappet cam. (460 HP on alcohol) . Better heads-piston-cam combo you can do it.

Its been done over and over but it ain't cheap. For the same money you can have a 383 with more power and better reliability.

I know the guys that build what we call a mid America motor for the circle track are right at the 497-502hp with vortec heads and flat tops and a big cam for the circle track application. I do like build in the 383 motors both for the TQ and HP that can be had. Still its all about the budget on is working with. For some people $$$$$ is not a big deal but for sum $$ is a big deal.
