![]() I can't help with info on a short stroke 350 but can share some data I collected when building up my 501 motor. So, a short stroke 350 with 500 heads and pistons could really make power IF it can stay together at a high enough rpm to through-put big CFM numbers.Īnyone doing this or that has done this, PLEASE let us know what you find or you found with a short stroke 350. More boost or rpm does not result in more hp.Īs each single HP requires about 1.4 to 1.5 CFM real world flow, that works out to 50 hp at the crank at 7500 rpm.ĭoes anyone know what the 500 turbo motor made HP wise ? If my estimate is correct, I would say somewhere in the 65-70 HP range. I can tell you from my own experience that stock 350 heads with a "sports" cam grind have a maximum air processing ability of about 75 CFM at 7500 rpm under 10 psi of boost, and then they are DONE. I don't have exact numbers yet,īut the potential gains in airflow could be on the order of 35% or more under the right conditions, turbo or NOS for example, I just aquired a cracked 500 cylinder head for study, and I now know that the valves and ports in the 500 heads are just enormous compared to a 350's. I earlier posted that I was seeing no real HP improvement results with a short stroke 350 in my software simulation program and I now know why. ![]() Update on the horsepower vs short stroke 350 questions.
