As far as I know, no on here on the forum has either the 350 or 502 Ramjet in their Vette yet. I think you better get your TH350 trans beefed up to run behind that thing if you plan on hammering the throttle. Also, I think a little higher gear, like a 3.55 or even higher might be better for driveability. It's not like you would have to worry about getting off the line with over 550 ft/lbs of torque.

I love the looks of thoose engines. :yesnod:
Saw in a magazine a few months back in a camero or chevelle and the hood had a hole cut in it and the engine stuck out of it, looked very sharp. Seemed like they put molding around the hole to make it look better. Would really be something to see that monster moving back and fourth. :cheers:
I would love to have one but am torn between the fast or sleeper look.

Re: 502 ramjet questions (jimmy1977)
it all depends on what you are trying to do. If you were ever to upgrade any of the other components (cam, compression, heads, nitrous) anything this isnt that great of set up to have. Holley(commander 950) and FAST engine management systems both seem to be very popular. Either one can be tuned to your hearts content. The throttle body could also become a limitation on this engine if upgrades were to be done.
