I have an already installed Edelbrock crate 350 engine. Any marks on engine that will rate the HP?

To the mechanic specializing in classic muscle cars... Are you for real man..



I wish 400 HP was that easy to get.. On 99% of the 350's it will take MUCH more than an intake, carb and cam swap to get 400 HP at the crank.



Most 350's had 175-240 HP stock.. Low compression dish pistons, poor flowing heads high cc heads, 7.8 to 8.5 compression, etc etc.



To get 400 HP you need 9.5 to 10.25:1 compression, heads that flows atleast in the 220's/160's cfm range, 230* @.050" cam, good intake, carb, headers,



To the asker...



Yes based on parts engine has one it. Look at the carb.. Bottom of flange on pass side get that # off it.



Look at heads, front ends of heads, should say edelbrock and a #,



Look at intake and write down what intake says



Now go to edelbrock's web site and compare the parts you have on your engine to the parts installed on their crates.. When you find one with the same heads, intake, carb, etc then you will know which one you haveI have an already installed Edelbrock crate 350 engine. Any marks on engine that will rate the HP?
Not usually - I have never seen it. A stock 350 with no upgrades generates around 250-275 hp. Remove the stock manifold and add an aluminum Edelbrock manifold with a good 4 barrel carb and a slight street cam your hp will jump to around 350 - 450. The only way to find out for sure is to put it on a Dyno. That will give you the peak HP as well as the torque rating. It is a safe bet if you have a crate motor from the factory it will be cranking a solid 375 horse minimum.I have an already installed Edelbrock crate 350 engine.

More than likely not.
