Legend has it of 400 ft lbs of torque.

[1981scottsdale]

So ive been doing alot of research lately, because my 350 is going hard, and i got my hands on some nice 062(ibelieve) Vortec heads from the junker. now i doubt im going to end up doing this because its just way to much to, but legend has it of building a 400ft lbs of torque, and 350 hp 350sbc for under 1500$ now me and everyone else kind of call this crap(well i have seen proof) but i just cant see it practical. So i guess the main question here, is what would i have to do to achieve this, Hypothetically, i cant see me doing it right away but i have driven one of my buddys squarebodys with a crate engine in it that has 400 torque and damn does it go.

Well i guess well see where this gets me
Cheers,

Have you done something like this for yourself before?
im full of stupid questions, but when it comes to carbs, or engines in general i can put one together, i just dont understand alot about them.

Poke around any of the major magazine websites. I know Chevy High Performance and Car Craft have both done budget buildups using the 290hp base 350 crate engine, which it's basically what you're working with.
