349 CI on the cheap

I never really sat down and figured it out but I would guess it would be about $6,500.00 complete ready to run. This includes all machining and porting and all parts from intake to pan. And by cutting .050 off the pistons makes it very streetable. This combo shows to make 626 HP @ 6,500 and 545 ft. lbs. @ 4,500 and 5,000 rpms. 222 hp and 389 tq @ 3,000 rpms but this is more of a race engine than street. This engine will have small chamber heads and the compression will be 14.68:1 but the cylinder PSI will be in the 170 psi range due to the cam being used. If a smaller cam is to be used then the larger head like a 360 head and a thick head gasket would be in order. This would put the compression ratio in the 10.25 to 10.5 range with minimal decking of the heads or block.
