I have a stock (except for performer manifold and '74 Q-Jet) 1972 350cubic inch with 7h1 heads and dual exhaust. The transmission is a th350 that I will replace with a 200-4r and the rear gears are 2.78:1 . I will not use this car on a drag strip! Peak HP is of no major concern. Making great power from idle through 4000 rpm is more my concern.
Since this is the original block, I do not want to bore it any more than necessary to clean the block up. I would appreciate a list of parts that you would use to get this motor to around 400hp/400ft. lbs. of torque. Also retail sources for these parts would be great.
Thanks, Karl

If you'd like advice on this then please take it to PMs, respect the thread starter and please don't hijack this thread. We have already wavered off-topic enough.

Until you can build a Pontiac V8 engine that makes the same power and is as lightweight as the LS3 for the same cost none of that matters in the least.
Your opinion of the LS3 swap going on here was never asked for by the thread starter. This thread as well as mine was started to share the progress of a buildup that some PY members might be interested in.
As a matter of fact this particular subforum was created by the PY administrators in order to help others with their non-Pontiac engine swaps as well as Pontiac engines in non-Pontiacs, so now I'm asking you to respect the wishes of the PY admins.
You've more than had your 2 cents, so now I'm asking you to leave this thread and others like it inside this subforum alone.
