LOL. What the heck would you do with 16 inch tires? LOL. GO_KART?

Hey rich what size valves are you running on that engine with the cam you like so much ?

They're the stock heads with the 350/290 engine, so 1.94 and 1.50.

Damn , I typed your next questions and 28 yrs since I did this on my my '78 and it's gone.

1. Change heads too ?
2. Consider a roller cam setup ?
3.Oil pump too if there is that much wear !
4. Timing chain set condition ?

There is a lot of torque in a 350 sbc1 (per c.i.) when done to it fullest !


I'll stay subscribed I hope, I changed PC operating systems and "computers SUCK most of the time". They work good to control autos but I still don't like them. GREAT to exchange ideas tho" !!

Its been raining a lot and I don't have a close shop so work has been slow but I'm still cleaning up the heads before going any further and doing some organization of parts.

But I've ordered new lifters and pushrods for this old girl
