Forgot Jim Burek and PAE for Porting and Engine building.:TU: www.paeenterprises.com Edit: Also seen under your vendors list.:beers2: :gp:
Wiseco has forged pistons for the 350. They are both in standard, and race weight. I have the prototype set in my 350.
"" Street Strip Porting - This is your best bang for the buck. Includes bowl work, gasket match, reshaping of guides, un-shrouding valves and clean-up combustion chambers. These heads can flow in the 260 cfm range. $600. "" Thats from the PAE site. I'm not sure what the flow rate for buick heads are, but how much hp will that make over stock? anyone know ?
Stock intake flows under 200 so 260 could easily support 420hp with the right cam and comp ratio. Above 400 hp you need lots of porting and a large cam as well as lots of compresion. Or you just run low comp, mild cam and some boost! There are stock flow #'s in this thread: http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=120529&highlight=heads
can you add the link mike phillips had on the board of the 350 build he just had at am&p it was about 365 hp with those pistons he carries
I have over 10 years experience with the 350 Buick and can duplicate my Pure Stock combo for a reasonable cost if anyone is looking for a drop in crate engine. 13.92 in a 4000lb with driver car isnt too bad if I do say so myself.
