anyway of finding out how much horsepower my 350 engine/ 400 turbo trans can make in my 68 camaro without getting it dyno tested?
:clonk:

We can get pretty close, either by similar experience, or one of the many available sim programs. List as many details as you can...we can get you a ballpark figure.

brand new 350 and 400 turbo trans. I am not an expert at cars so I am going to list some of the stuff it has
pete jackson noisy gear drive
edelbrock victor jr. intake
K & N air filter
trw flattop forged aluminum

Take it to the strip, and post numbers. That will allow for a computation of horsepower from performance; plus it is a lot of fun and safer than racing on the street.

Curious; why the Ford Blue engine paint?

I'm not sure i would want it to be orange but yeah I am buying the car from a mechanic so the sngine was already like this.

If the guy you're buying from built the engine, ask him about it. We'd like to know approximate compression ratio, brand/size cylinder heads, cam specs, carb size, bore & stroke, and what kind of exhaust you plan on using from the headers all the way back. These numbers are essential for guestimating horsepower. If he built it then he more than likely knows everything I just asked for, so don't worry about confusing him. Write down these questions, then write down what he tells you and post it.

he estimated around 400-425 horsepower. it is bored over .30
he's a pretty trustworthy guy and an honest person.

thats not going to be the position of the exhaust though he called me the other day and me and my dad decided to have the exhaust come out from the side behing the tire rather then behing the car.

Post the cam card specs.This is the brain of the engine.IVO,IVC,EVO,and EVC along with gross lift.The calculator will do the rest.Any info regarding flow at lift and CR will go along way is guesstimating your package.Add your carb flow at 1.5 inches and induction and your primary tube size will also help.
