![]() ![]() Frankly, the easiest way to make 400 to 425 horsepower would be to buy a 5.3L truck engine and put on a carbureted intake manifold, a 750 cfm Holley carb, headers, and stick in a mild hydraulic roller like Summit’s Stage 2 truck cam with 218 degrees of duration. Jeff Smith: Before we get started, let’s just say that the terms “lots of horsepower” and “cheapest” are at opposing ends of the same discussion. I’d like to put this engine in a ’69 C-10 pickup to terrorize the streets. I really don’t know what it was originally in but I’m pretty sure it was a truck. How would I do that? I have a 350 Chevy truck engine short block with a one-piece rear main seal. I want to build the cheapest, least expensive small-block 350 Chevy that can make around 400 to 450 horsepower. Our total investment was a little more than half the cost of a set of aluminum aftermarket heads. This is a set of Vortec heads we’ve modified by machining the guides, and adding bigger springs, a set of Summit stainless steel valves, and ARP screw-in studs.
