350/295 combo
 

Would this combo be worth trying in a 67 camaro in stock eliminator. And which head casting would be the best and which tranny combination stick or auto. I would like the pro's and con's please.
Thanks to all or any input or opinions.

Re: 350/295 combo
 

Stick would be .15 -.20 faster, the powerglide makes this combo weak.
But on the flip side it is consistent with the glide, if you are willing to spend alot of money it will run. It will take alot of flogging and money.
I like the 186 head.

Yes, a stick is the way to go. It's a pretty good combination.

Thanks for the info now who to let do the heads i'm in phoenix az.

Re: 350/295 combo
 

Woodro Josey in Georgia, or Jimmy Bridges in Tennessee for cylinder heads.

You'll need a killer Q-Jet, an Ashley or an Oliver will probably be your best bet, find 3-4 cores.

Kevin and Scott Helms for a Jerico and associated parts, or Arnold Greene.

Gary and Tom Russell run the stick in F/S and have gone 10.90's but the 327 just got HP off and would also be a good combo .
I have a car for sale with the 350 combo . PM me for more info . Mike

Re: 350/295 combo
 

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but the 327 275 is still NHRA rated at 274, same as before

Re: 350/295 combo
 

The 327-275 combo that was reduced was only for the auto class. In the classification guide it shows the Nova as only the auto getting the horespower reduction and the Camaro getting both but after contacting NHRA they confirmed that only the auto for both car was reduced by 4 horsepower and not the stick.

Re: 350/295 combo
 

hey Bob you are too fast to get any reduction, 10.90 in G/S is real fast with a 327 . WOW

Re: 350/295 combo
 

The 350 combination would be better in a 69 or 70 because you can run a three speed auto trans. A good 200 would be at least a tenth faster than a power glide .

Re: 350/295 combo
 

Was going to run this combo in the 80's.
Woodroo Jose recommended the 255/350.

I got NHRA to reduce the 295 to 290hp writing to them a while back.
Woodro felt the 295 at 290 was not worth the 10 HP difference over the 441 Headed 255.

The 492 Casting had the same Valves though more Compression.
But the 441's out flowed the 492's enough to be a better combination.

my 2 cents

The 295 or 300 horse motors are now 286. Try a set of 186 heads and you will have a decent combination. The compression difference should be about 1 1/2 points. With the new hp off this might be a little better.

Everybody is so quick to throw out the name of their favorite shop. But nobody ever asks the most important question. What's your budget & how fast can your wallet keep up?

Re: 350/295 combo
 

Jeff, I think we all just assumed if the guy is going to run an E or F/SA car ,he has a fairly substantial budget to work with ..He's gonna need it, in just about any division.

Re: 350/295 combo
 

Never assume!

Re: 350/295 combo
 

Well gents i already have a supergas car with a 555, and i also have a reher and morrison 565. With that being said i'm looking to get into stock. I already have parts for a 396/375 from heads block and other parts to complete that combo. I'm not into trying to keep up with the joneses. I simply think the small block combo may be better. And i have some buddies with a few of the heads in the nhra guide, which i can get my hands on. I want to put this together and learn. I'm not trying to set the world on fire or impress just race and have FUN! That's it.

Re: 350/295 combo
 

Point I was making is there are some pretty fast E and F/SA cars in Div 7.
If you want to survive heads up races with them , you'll need a healthy piece.
If you want to guard against that , put a stick in it ...They're practically illegal out here.

Re: 350/295 combo
 

I understand and that's really what i was thinking as well. There are some really fast cars in d7 in those classes. Doing what some all ways say do study the guide for best combo and work it. I always read your posts for a reason, a lot of info.

A "killer" Stocker engine can cost more than a 555+ S/G engine!
PM me with your contact info & I can offer help. I'm on vacation until 1st week in August so I can't return a call until then.

Re: 350/295 combo
 

Actually a Stick in a 350/295 works !

Has a bit more RPM range than the 255.
