you want to keep up with them, 347!! 347 , fast as cast tfs 190cc heads...Custom cam, and a tfs box intake and all supporting mods such as exhaust, gears and fuel system and this should keep you at the front of the pack, as for 347 overheating on long drives..lol lol lol and more lol......what uneducated person told you that???

to start the 383 is a chevy engine. a 302 isnt bad as long as you have some good heads,cam and intake. if you want a carb motor then 87-88 are the ones. 89-93 are the maf and fuel injected cars. i have a 302 crate engine with some bolt ons and have an estimated 440 hp to the crank. it really depends on what you want to do with it. i know you said it would be street. i dont think youll find a built car for that price but you never know. for that much power id look to spend about 6-7k. if you have the extra money a crate engine would be great. i hust saw a built engine on craiglist for 3500. it ran 7's or 8's on spray. pretty goodprice for that kind of power.

i dont know what i was thinking about saying they werent fuel injected. i could be wrong with hp estimate. ive done the bumbers a few times over and over and it seems thats where i am. thats why i want to get it on a dyno to really know. it might not be that much, youre right i dont know.

for about the same price you can build a 408 windsor thatll put out more power than a 347 could, yea its a little heavier but with aluminum heads it aint by much. build it smart and LET IT EAT! with the supporting engine and suspension mods youll beat em and youll beat em bad. good luck
