    350 rebuild

    If your looking to supercharge a 350 expect to spend quite a bit probably 2 to 3000 just to start .Check past threads about this subject,good idea though.

    Ive already talked to mike tweedy and the kit will run about 2700, but then i have to buy an intake, carb, and basically a new fuel system, along with exhaust, and posi rear, and electric fan, msd ignition and some other misc. things, but i need to start with the rebuild because this car has had over 100k put on it since the last one

    lets just hope i know what im doing...

    O-ring the block, forged pistons, and ported heads.

    The more the merrier. The intake runners can only take in so much air, so you'll need to open it up to take advantage of what the charger is giving. How much horsepower are you looking for? If you stay below the 600-700 hp mark you can save yourself some money by not having to upgrade to forged rods and possible bottom-end strengthening. To pass that hp mark you're looking at an extra 4 grand, which is why I'm happy at the power level I'm at. Plus, once you get the motor together the fun part of upgrading the drivetrain is next. It's amazing how far deep a person can get into a project.

    well, im Looking for some solid 12's with this car.. im kinda on a very low budget, so i dont know how much porting i'll be able to have done I plan on running about 9psi on the motor, which i think is like a 60% increase according to ATI's website, by the time I'm done with this car i want to have less than 10 grand in it, i decided to supercharge because i figured that would be the best hp/$ ratio
