does anybody know any cheap tricks to do to a chevy 350?? i don't have alot of money and was wondering if there are any tricks i can do.

[nosliw]

port/polish (if you can do it yourself)
underdrive pulleys
thinner head gasket (not really cheap but kind of)
kn air filter
you can get some cheap $100 summit headers to open it up
rifled carb spacer

[Mxjunkie]

cam-crane,comp and lunati are good,exhaust-flowmasters,hookerheaders,carb-eldelbrok,street demons,intake manifold-eledelbrok, airfilter-koolblue,k&n

[throwinitup]

hmmm what are u lookin to spend?


throw a flowmaster 40 series muffler on it

beefier air filter OR if its TBI goto autozone and buy the cheapy air intake tube and cone fliter they got for those rice burners..they work just fine on a small block...

swap the camshaft ($200 at the most and would be the best thing u could do)

[nosliw]

oh and make sure that the linkage from the go-pedal to the carb isnt worn out and not opening it fully

[Butters]

thats not really what i was looking for i meant adjusting stuff like that. i have a carb cam headers and exhaust. its an old truck, 72 to be exact. i was just wondering if there were tricks to helping it out.

[throwinitup]

maybe some jetting and messing with the carb then timing and it should run a little better all depending on what you can adjust and what you cant

[Butters]

yeah i have screwed with alot of that kind of stuff but if you think of some specifics let please post cause i can't think of any more.

[Butters]

anyone else have any ideas???

What kind of carb is on it? Does it have points or HEI? Specify what intake is on it and what diameter the header primaries are. Also, what is your altitude?:ermm:

It's not really an adjustment but you could run 1.6 rockers. It's easy to do from the top side of the motor and you can get a complete set of roller tip arms for a little over $100/set. You'll pick up a little power and gain reliability. The factory units from GM are garbage.

Make sure it is timed well. If the timing is off you will be losing power.
