    You made a good point , they sound so much better when you match them up with a nice cam.

      It's a 1990 L-98 350 bored .040 over. Some people call them 358s. But from what I've always gone by, a .030 350 is a 355ci, a .040 350 is a 357ci, and a .060 350 is a 360ci engine. .080 is a 364ci, .090 is a 366ci unit. All with a 3.48 stroke crank. I like aftermarket 4340 3.50 stroke cranks with 2 inch rod journals.

      @@jeremymyers5643 Yes, I've worked in 2 shops with dynos plus my rich buddy I grew up, his dad raced Pro Stock boats and had a dyno in a building in his back yard. So I could use it pretty much anytime. I built engines for a living for over 30yrs, so I've built a whole lot of SBCs over the years. Start recognizing patterns over 40yrs of continuously building engines. This engine will actually make a bit more than 500hp, but I throw a low end number out there for those who like to argue. Ive built over 1000+ engines since the early 80s. Many drag race engines, dirt track engines, drag boat engines, mud race engines, etc. Even built a 8-71 blown 540 big block Chevy for a drug dealers fan boat for the swamps. Build over 500+ SBCs and ya pretty much figure out what they can do. A similar engine to this one in the video made 560hp, 480tq. Making big power with Chevy engines is easy. So many choices on killer parts available. These days my dyno is the drag strip. My friend with the dyno is dead, and the 2 shops I worked in with dynos neither exist anymore. One is a Planet Fitness now and the building is gone. The other is in a bad neighborhood rotting away. That guy died too.
