Wow nice numbers. I am just worried about the longevity of my block. We are talking 180k on this block. I would feel safer with a rebuild. I am going to look into that kit as well though, thank you.

 

If you arent going to race, I personally would say a stroker with h/c/i, or maybe a 351 with h/c/i, etc. This would be a cheaper option and very very effective.

 

then the rebuild might be the better idea. this is the first time you mentioned miles

 

rebuild it (stock) and throw a turbo kit on it. and port ur stock heads. you can rebuild the engine for like $1k then buy a $3k turbo kit then buy fuel upgrades (fuel pump, injectors, MAF) and a TwEECeR RT $550 and ur done well besides install

here are a few web sties that r.barn posted somewhere

Thanks guys for all the info. I think however that I am going to refrain from forced induction right now. I think I am going to have the short block rebuilt with moly rings, decked, etc... and then put a new top end on. Thinking of going with the patriot heads, cam(not sure which), and either the edelbrock performer or twisted flow street burner intake manifolds. Of course all the supporting mods: 75mm TB, EGR plate, 75mm MAF, 24lb injectors, 255lp pump, regulator, fuel rails, mallory coil, taylor wires, 3.73 gear set, and complete new exhaust headers back. I know it won't get me my 350rwhp but I figure it will be a good start and good base for future mods.

There are so many things I still want to fix and going to use this money to get as far as I can until tax returns. Still need to work on suspension, driveline, tranny...etc.
