Project "355"

 

I know, I just can't stop it with this speed thing!!!! It's ADDICTING! So here I am again with another project on my hands. This time, I bought a used short block 350 from a friend which came out of an 88 model Chevy truck.

Here is a quick rundown:

  • .030" overbore, block decked, mains aligned bored, crank indexed, and full rotating assembly balanced.
  • Scat ICR forged 4130 6.0" rods with ARP wave-loc bolts.
  • Ross forged flattop pistons with 2 valve reliefs.
  • AirFlow Research 190cc aluminum heads(CNC ported w/ 64cc combustion chambers for 10.25:1 CR).
  • CompCams Extreme Energy 276 hydraulic roller cam (224/230 duration at .050" and .536"/.544" lift with 1.6 RR's on a 110 LS).
  • CompCams Pro Magnum 1.6 roller rockers.
  • Crane true roller timing chain.
  • LT1 windage tray.
  • TPIS base.
  • Accel SuperRam.
  • Nippendenso flowmatched 25.5lb injectors.
