    project 350

    so what is the best setup for an offroad chevy 350. (that being said i know ther are hundreds of opinions I'm just looking to get some ideas)

    i already have a good long block with one piece rear main, exact year unknown, and a tbi setup and hopefully soon a serpentine setup. now i'm looking for what to do with the internals

    I was thinking:
    hot tank block and heads and if good (looks good so far but i haven't got the crank out yet) reuse good pistons and rods and crank
    new bearings and rings
    use stock heads
    rv cam

    call it a day.

    I'm not grying to make a stroker or do anything huge, just get a reliable moderatly powerfull efficient v8
    Red 81 CJ5, 35's, 4.10 and detroit, 4 to 1 dana 300, tbi efi, flat belly, cage, chromos and auzzie in front... sometimes runs. body damage to come

    anyone have any advice? so i guess that this is a good setup then? does anyone have a favorite place to order rebuild kits.

    pace performance has better prices then scoggins dickey and you dont have to pay tax since outside texas. The shipping is a little more but even so, i saved about $300 buying the red rocket motor from them.

    Look around online. I'll try to find the place I got my stuff from but it was cheaper then from S&D also. Also checkout ebay, a few of the online companies I looked at were also selling stuff on there and you could get it for even less.

    Check out Eaker Performance. He's local (Bryan) and sometimes is cheaper than the catalogs. 979-775-7223
