[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2699780, member: 15054"] I built 3 almost identical SBC engines the difference was a ci size and a tad different on cams but same rpm range for most A 327 +.060 over a 350 and a 388" The cars all ran real even with the 388 pulling harder on the big end. The 350 and 327 were head to head with the 327 shifting a 4 speed and the 350 an automatic. I installed another cam 6degrees more duration at .050" and more compression in the 350 after all the racing, The 350 was now the one to beat. That was back in the 90's I have extracted more air from my heads now and can run smaller cams and go quicker. DO NOT go to ABEL Racing! That place will have you wanting to do a turbo build to make some real power. I have some 76cc heads for SBC that I never run because I like chambers in the mid 50cc range. but might be neat to slap together a "junk" engine then turbo it to see what happens. Dang you ABEL Racing To benefit in the MPG area I think an overdrive trans would be needed. All I have are TH350's Now if I had a 2004R :) [/QUOTE]
