Oh I forgot to mention it will be around 9 & 9.5:1, it has 1 5/8 bbk ceramic shortiesHey guys I recently converted a 2.3 to a 351w and have a couple questions about my build. First off I don't know what kind of hp I'd be expecting. It's has the stock stroke, ported heads with 1.94 valves, .504/.504 296/296 camshaft, and air gap intake. Also I'd need to know if I'd need a 650 or 750 double pumper to feed it. Andy input would be greatly appreciated.
Yea your right, stock heads milled a little with a valve and port job, hydro flat tappet cam. Thanks for the info!I take it that it's a flat tappet cam,stock Windsor heads,etc so around 275-300rwhp is my guess. 650 carb should suffice.
Thanks for the input. I was hoping for 300+ but I guess it should be fine for a street car. I think below 300 Hp would get boring fast ha. Would the hp increase much with edelbrock rpm heads? Reason I ask is because a frien of mine is selling a pairAgreed that a 650cfm carb will do the trick, I would likely expect that combo to make 250-260 rwhp
All of the difference in the world is in the cylinder heads, a Performed RPM cylinder head with 2.02 intake valves are likely worth 50 hp or more on your particular motor vs what you are working with now.Thanks for the input.

Looks like I should go to the bank then. Would those be ok with my cam? My air gap intake should do just fine I believe.

Yea I thought about a roller cam and think it would be a good change later on after the engine has a few miles on it. These heads are a deal for 800 with .600 lift springs, arp studs and guide plates. I might just get these heads for now. I haven't even broken the engine in yet ha.Not exactly sure of the supplied springs on those heads but my guess is they will be more than enough and a significant upgrade. I know it's a little pricey but have you thought about a hyd roller cam with some link bar lifters? Between that and the heads you would really wake the car up and have a wider power band. Which would not only make more peak power but more avg power(which equates to better throttle response and performance)
