Default Engine rebuild

I'm in process of learning and finding out how to rebuild my 76' engine. I want 300 horse at the rear wheels. I have heard that its easy to get 300 from the 350. I also like the sound of a 383. I looking for some good information to set me off in a good direction.

I'm not an engine builder....but 300 RRHP should be no problem..!

Although, I am going to store my numbers matching engine and drop in a 383...

The first thing everyone will ask you is, "what's your budget?"

Purchase one or two of the How To Rebuild Your Smallblock Chevrolet books for general How To. The How To Hot Rod Your Smallblock Chevrolet will list what you need for 300hp.
