Re: 350/290 Horse Crate Engine
I've wondered if this would be a good motor for in a truck. real life reports work for me better than reading charts. They push a lower HP motor for pickups which made me wonder if this one would work out right. Sounds like it makes the torque you need where you need it. 290hp is nothing to sneeze at. It takes a bit of cam profiling above stock to come up with that. HP ratings back in '72 were optimistic. I believe the 350 4bbl was rated at 175 hp in a '72 K/20.
