Our late-model, four-bolt, hydraulic-roller long-block came from a truck for the paltry sum of $180 (a short-block would be slightly less.) Though ours was capable of running as is, we chose to clean it up, hone the cylinders and add a new set of rings from Total Seal.

The rest of us need look no further than our local wrecking yard for a perfectly usable donor. I plan to upgrade to a 200-4r because of my 3.73 gear ratio. I have a spare TH-350 and stock converter. If you are uncertain as to which cam profile best suits your needs, please contact our technical support staff at 61. Is it ok to run a stock toque converter with a mild cam. Mild porting and larger valves will improve performance. Our Hum Baby Chevy 350 crate engine is a street-friendly 350 HP mild. Headers, dual exhaust, larger than stock carburetor, performance manifold and increased compression (9.5:1 to 10.5:1) are required. If you already have a small-block to start with, you are ahead of the game. It has headers, crane cam, 3:73 gears, 4 bolt main, edelbrock - Answered by a. While we all long for complete forged stroker assemblies, the reality is that just about any stock short-block will suffice for all but maximum performance. The build began in the most humble of places, the wrecking yard. This is exactly what we had in mind for our Easy Street 350. Who's to say we won't want more power down the line? Even if you decide on a mild daily driver right now, proper planning can provide the makings for a mild daily driver today and a street/strip stormer tomorrow. You can see 30-35hp and 40-50 lbs/ft on a stock aluminum head TPI Corvette engine and with the addition of 1.6 rockers you can expect even more. This particular cam is a great little upgrade for a TPI 305 or 350.

For this build, we decided to go conservative, but with an eye on future power potential. Camshaft, TPIS Super L98 Hydraulic Roller Camshaft, SBC 87-92, LT1 93-94.
