Guys, I've read past posts and hope I'm on the right track. I am having a very reliable local shop rebuild and install a 350 into my 56 chevy wagon. Current 350 is real tired.
What I want is reliable 300 hp driver with enough guts to be some fun to drive. I drive this car alot.
What the engine shop manager wants to do is this. He has a good 350 block that he will fit with a set of reconditioned double hump heads, use stock cam and valves. He will balance the rotating assembly too. I want to stick with stock iron manifolds. He likes a 600 cfm quadrajet.
This can't break the bank, but I've been busting my hump doing side jobs so that I'll have enough $$ to build a nice engine and get it installed.
What do you all think of this and do you have specific suggestions for how to build this engine?
Thanks in advance.
