I'm guessing 400 at the flywheel.

Ok what would be holding it back from having more the cam??

 

[ericb7699]

my guess would be bigger heads

 

[Professor Fate]

It'll still be fun to drive.

 

[Tom Griffin]

That camshaft is a great cam for those heads, I ran that setup for a couple of years. If anything I would have dropped the compression a little bit, more around 9.5 or 10:1.

I never try to give HP estimates... to many variables including machine work and assembly techniques. But you will have fun with that setup. :yes:

No doubt it will be more fun to drive more fun than the 140 hp the 350 2bbrl manages to wheeze out now. I was just hoping for more. It's edelbrocks 410hp topend kit, they rated it on a zz350 I was hoping for alittle more with the 383 and 11:1 but it should still be fun and I can spray it if need be.

 

[Stock72Nova]

And I will be assembling the motor myself which should be alot of fun

 

[onequiknova]

That set up should make around 400 HP with a 350. Your 383 should bump that up a bit. My guess would be closer to 425.

 

[big dog ss]

that is a nice street cam.. your combo will be a lot of fun on the street. and the cam likes the funny gas!!

 

[Stock72Nova]

Yeah shoud be fun dad and I are also building the motor so that should be fun too I also hope to swap the th350 for a 4 speed while doing the swap, should make the camaro more fun

Thats almost the exact engine I have. Mine is topped off with the eddy pro-flow injection. But all the other parts are pretty close. And the setup I have was dyno'ed by eddy at around 425 for the same build, diff engine, not mine. They didnt have 6 inch rods or 1.6 rocker ratio but I dont see that hurting or gaining anything worth talking about.

Mine is very close to yours, 355, scat crank and forged rods but in 6 inch, and my rockers are 1.6 ratio. I have flat manly slugs and its at 10.5:1. The fuel injection is worth a couple hp, single plane mani and injection. But yeah, all the stuff is pretty much the same, heads, cam, displacement. You are good for at least 400hp. And really, for a street car at the weigh that they are its gonna be loads of fun.

Nice to see a simple engine like mine for once!!! All these really nice engines you guys have, starting to give me a complex LOL IMO 400 ponies is a great street car engine..JR

 

[Stock72Nova]

Should have loads of torque too I hope.....I just want to blow the tires off in all the gears and make a decent run down the srtip. It should be a cool sleeper car looks like a junky old 74 with crapy paint and some rust spots. I should probably invest in some subframe connectors too
