    That'll be 150 NET horsepower@3800 rpm / 265 lb-ft torque@2400 rpm,
    so that's about 220 old HP.

    There was also a 155 HP@3800 rpm 2 barrel 350 for the Skylark, with 270 lb-ft@2400 rpm.

    chryco63 14's or bust!

    Well, that's the thing... it's not a big block. It's a small block. Those gross numbers are actually quite decent when you consider the CR of the day. It's no slouch, so dont dismiss it on those NET ratings! And the Buick is the featherweight of all GM 350's. Throw a 4BBL at the thing, a set of true duals, HEI, perhaps a set of headers, and you'll be pleasantly surprised! :TU:

    I also have a 350-2 in my 72 skylark, and i was wondering how much horsepower a 4bbl and headers would probably add to it?

    Probably a 30-35 hp gain.
