Here's a mild 350 combo I put together for a '69 Firebird that my brother owns, a heavily optioned car (A/C, power discs/steering/windows/drivers seat, deluxe interior) that weighs over 3700# without the driver.

1968 350 (354) bored +.030 so it now dispaces 360 cubes.The lower-end was rebuilt with cast pistons and stock cast rods by a previous owner and was still fairly fresh, I added the rest of the parts listed.

1969 400/428 #46 heads, cheap valve job/used stock springs, stock press-in bottle-neck studs, not milled for added compression, ports untouched.

Crane blueprint 068 cam (212/[email protected],.407"lift) advanced 4 degrees running stock 1.5 rockers and adjusting nuts torqued to the stock 20# spec, Cloyes Tru-Roller timing chain set.

Stock 1969 iron intake, exhaust crossover still functional, 1972 400 750 Q-jet rebuilt with no mods, stock 1974 B-body aircleaner 'donated' by a 455 engine.

Stock points distributor.

Stock log exhaust manifolds, cheap 2-1/4" dual exhaust
TH400 trans with shift kit added, TCI Saturday Night Special converter, approx 2500 stall.

1980 T/A 10-bolt 8.5 rear with original factory 3.42 posi, 235/60-15 street radials, no traction devices.

This car ran a 15.21 ET at a 2800 ft. altitude track, launching easy so as not to spin the 235/60-15 street radials. Using the standard correction factor for this track the ET at sea-level would be in the 14.80s. With good traction tires and a harder launch low-14s are easily there.

Pretty much all stock or stock-replacement type parts were used for this engine build. The 068 cam was chosen with .407" lift because of the press-in studs. I didn't want to overstress the valve train and I wanted the simplicity of using the stock 20# valve adjustment procedure (actually no adjustment, stock non-adjustable valvetrain).

A no-frills 350 built on the CHEAP and a decent runner.

my combo. 68 .030 400 with stock crank and zero decked
KB dished pistons with Eagle rods, assembly balanced
9.4 comp with E- RPM heads
Comp Cams XR276HR-10 cam (lift 552 and 561 with HS 1.65 rockers 224 and 230 at .050 Ls 110 cam set at 106)
RPM intake with 750 E-carb, MSD 6A box with factory dist and composite gear
Summit 80 GPH mechanical pump, and 11" DF centerforce clutch
Richmond 5 speed with 8.5 and 2:56.1 gears
Factory long branch manifolds with Pypes 2.5 with X-pipe and race pro transverse muffler
Chassis dyno showed 292 HP and 350 TQ at the wheels with out of the box 750. I tried the 800 and it woke it up pretty good so I tried a 950HP and the gain was noticable. I wish that the funds were there to dyno this thing again( this time with someone who is willing to mess with the carb to fine tune it. I took it in and the 800 E-carb was not running right and they just pulled it off and installed the 750. From 2600 to 4600 it showed an A/F of 12.5 steadily going down to 11.1
