I am wondering which engine i should go with my two choices are a 290 hp 326 ft lbs or 330 hp 385 ft lbs both are 350's and this will be a weekend car, i've heard that the 330 hp 350 is to much for this car cuz they make great power? any info would be greatly appreciated. there is a $1000 price difference

 

You will be happy with the 290/326, but your *** will pucker up with the 330/385.

 

thanks. do you think the 290/326 will pull a low 14 in the 83 since this gen is lighter then the earlier cars, cuz my friend has a 79 trans am with a 400 in it lol.

 

Eh, I would say mid to low 14's. Hard to say though.

 

how much do both of them cost?

the 290/326 is 1700 and the 330/385 is 2600, but i found out only difference is the cam and crome valve covers

 

buy the cheaper one. While its out. swap the cam yourself. If you can.

Invest in a set of subframe connectors as well.

 

ok just wondering why do i need the subframe connectors

 

too much power will twist the chasie of your car its a unibody design

 

ok thanks, you guys have been a good help, is there anywhere that tells me where i could hook them up also i forgot about this can i use the cross fire injection intake for now until next winter when i can buy a different FI setup, or am i gonna have to go with a carb until then.
