Pretty much those entire motors are low compression junk
Youll need more than 350hp to beat a 345hp LS1 Vette.

Stroke that puppy and get a good head on it or do the LSx conversion.

Are you looking to rebuild the engine or small add on? Do you have the original engine? Mine was a 2 bolt main with like 180 HR. They chocked those engines out in that year. I am in the process of getting a new engine myself.
