My friend has a 69 chevy truck and he's about to give a mechanic $4000 to build and install a 350 that's supposed to make 500bhp, a 2800stall, unspecified tranny that's built to hold 600hp and all supporting accessories. This sounds too good to be true to me, but my knowledge is limited to ls1's. My friend's impressed because the guy cranked a car with a 350 that he swears makes 750hp NA. Does any of this sound true?

Nah, it's in North Carolina. I just think the parts alone would be 4 grand... and a 350 making 750NA hp. What gives?

Ehm, isnt that more than nascar HP? (I thought nascars were ~650)

It sounds like a sales pitch to me! Not really any different than some we get on this board, except that it is more of an embelishment.

I want to take my car to the dyno he's going to run it on. I should be over 1200RWHP.

It's time for the:

Add 200++


And a 750 hp NA 350 can be done, but it is insanely expensive.

The valvetrain would be more than $4k.


And the other deal is to good to be true. Unless everything is used.

Yeah, someone's getting takin' for a ride here.

750 HP NA is possible on a wide variety of engines. But I have never, ever, even had anyone mention this possible on a 4K build. Let alone on a small displacement 350.

update, The block is supposed to be used. He built an engine for someone and they didn't like it. So he refunded their money and tore the engine down to the block. He's using a pair of used heads which he's having ported. cam and valvetrain new. Trans rebuilt and stall new. I just didn't want to talk my friend out of the deal if it was at all possible.

def a bunch of bs,500hp 350's arent too hard to build but it costs more than that in parts alone,let alone the trans too
