Want to wake up my SBC

Recommended Posts

I have a 86 chevy truck with a SBC. It has headers, dual exh, edelbrock rpm intake, small comp cam 268 cam, 650 cfm edelbrock carb. Have any of you guys messed around with the edelbrock power package top end kits? http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/2099/10002/-1?parentProductId=#moreDetails I don't know if I could get it cheaper anywere else. They claim 435hp out of this kit IF the truck would have 9.5 to 1 comression. I would say the engine I have is around 8.5 to 1

Says kit doesn't included lifters. Have you priced hyd. roller lifters? They aren't cheap.

Yea they are stupid expensive

You need a blower.

 

Needs more Weiand....

 

 

 

No, Im not mad maxing this thing lol. found a bad ass article with a goal of 400hp which would make me more than happy with my beater! http://www.popularhotrodding.com/enginemasters/articles/chevrolet/smallblock/0606em_350_chevy_bolt_ons/viewall.html Looks like if I put a nice set of alumn. heads that are 64cc and a good cam,intake,carb i could possibly get 400hp out of the stock short block and be reliable fun on pump gas. IMHO perfect combo for want I want.

With that low of compression, I would run the Performer Package. It focuses on low speed torque, which is what you'll want.

Thanks, being a 4wd truck that I still tow very lightly with that would be nice.

 

Fwiw, I don't believe they made any factory aluminum 64cc heads, they did make them with 58cc chambers for a couple years on Corvettes (86-88 I believe, L98 motor).

 

? I was thinking more of the lines like AFR or aftermarket. I have never even heard of old school factory alumn heads. Looks like I just need to get a "bigger" mild cam, intake, 64cc heads, and play around. Or get one of those cheap azz ebay single turbo kits and charge it :D

Oh. I had no idea that was the direction you were thinking. You said beater and I was thinking budget. As for the factory aluminum heads, you could just search cl for "L98" heads, there are iron heads and for a few years they made aluminum heads.

Looks like you could just tow it with the Duramax in your sig and make it faster.

 

Seriously though, sounds like a mild blower set up would be perfect. Just seems to me there isn't going to be nearly the bump in power I'd want with some heads on an underpowered old small block.
