I have an 81 Malibu.. The whole car is extremely nice and clean but the motor has been together for years and years and it just needs gone through.
The engine is a 355 with forged bottom end, 9.5:1 compression, 882 heads with roller valvetrain, big solid lifter cam, single plane older Holley intake, 650 edelbrock avs carb, longtubes.
Trans is a turbo 350, manual valve body, 3600 stall
Rear End is a GN 8.5 drag springs, solid control arms, relocation brackets, girdle, 3.73s
Front suspension is tubular a arms, coilovers and drag shocks
My point being.. the rest of the car is ready for a pretty wicked small block, but this motor leaves a lot on the table.
Does anyone have any ideas for an off the shelf build up that is tride and true to make and honest 350whp. Not looking for anything but decent driveability but needs to sound good.
