If you’re not sure if the balancer has slipped or not giving you inaccurate timing readings you could use a piston stop that replaces the number one spark plug and verify TDC.

A low priced car with 180 horsepower in 1955 was a sensation. :)

Should be an awesome cruiser, save up for some wide whites!

All of the above.

What would be the reason to bring likely unwanted attention to your property?

Inviting “local government ineptitude” to the party might be what you’ll end up with.

No local exhaust shop is going to fabricate those headpipes any better and most certainly not any cheaper than whatever you can buy from PYPES. Even needing to slice the pipe a couple inches past the...

Along the same line as Tom has suggested here searching for a used good-running 400 in your local area would likely be the same cost roughly as the hopping up the 350.

KRE offers a 260 cfm head with smaller valves on the order of 2.06/1.66 or something close to that with a 65cc chamber that’s ideal for 350 builds so they’re readily available.

It’s not so much...

A realistic goal for doing some bolt on modifications to a 1970 350 would be something in the neighborhood of 220-250 rear wheel horsepower.

A 350 that can put 300 to 350 to the wheels is a pretty hot 350 that will require a lot more than the usual cam swap, intake, carb and headers.

Honestly I’d start looking for a 400 or better yet a...

Well the Tempest 194.5 four cylinder wasn’t in production until 1961 so if that’s an actual Tempest 4 the picture is early sixties at best.
