Re: 550 hp 350 (lead foot 85 vet)
Start hangin out in the engine mods section,,,all your questions will be answered there. The easiest way to do this is to duplicate the American Speed 401 engine featured in the July 2001 edition of Car Craft Magazine, 554 HP and 540 TQ, and that was with a dual-plane intake and hyd roller cam!!!
To keep the cubes down, stay with a smaller bore and use a more aggressive solid roller cam to get the same HP.

You are looking for a NASCAR Grand National Engine builder....good luck on the price department....
there is a really good machine shop down the road from me, and they build really very very very nice engines....but it's a time and effort thing...
you give them the money, they order the parts, and will send it out to you, in maybe as few as 6 months.....they takes their time, nice and polite to deal with, but do NOT pester them.....you pays your money, whatever he says, and you waits....he does not NEED business, he's got plenty....
he has an entire shop full of Sunnen equipment, latest stuff, and does it all from top to bottom.....
try Witcher Engineering....they on the web, I think still.....
