Either...
~450 for link bar hyd roller lifters
OR
Run a crappy conversion cam with reduced base circles.



Boost is tough to predict...

The blowzilla from KB will only support 8-10psi on that size motor.
its not just boost, but how many CFM's the s/c can provide. Thats why you see
those huge roots style blowers on big blocks. They can provide not only
the boost but the CFM air volume needed as well.

I would get a turbo kit for same cost and make more power...............
hoping to see around 525rwhp on my 8psi 351W turbo when i get it installed
later this year or early next.

true but they are alot less street friendly due to all the loss in vacuum
ORIGINAL: ih8chevy

+1. they are jsut liek the older 302's can hold way more power than a newer 5.0. the roller conversion is worth it butu dont need it, those flat tappet motors will make awesome power when built right.

can I get a 351 with fuel injection to fit under a stock hood or how high do I have to go get it to fit? but I want a stock look with out the big cow hood or will a super mach work.
1.5"-2.5" will work... its possible to get ti to fit, just unlikely


LesteR723, you dont NEED a roller block, and the older the block is, the better. 70's blocks have a higher nickel content and will handle more power. You can also EASILY retrofit a old block with roller lifters by using the linked lifters.

$450 for the entire set for a V8.

It will be worth it to run standard 302 cam profiles...
