This article is the last in a series featuring the Chevrolet 350/290 Crate Engines, and highlights the attributes of the 350 HO Turn-Key Crate Motor.
Forget rebuilding! The Chevrolet Performance 350 HO is assembled with all-new parts and high-flow heads, giving you more power than just about any production-spec Small Block ever installed at the factory: 333 hp and 381 satisfying lb.-ft. of torque.
A brand-new block with four-bolt main caps is the foundation for the Chevy 350 HO, which delivers greater strength than that old two-bolt block you were thinking of rebuilding. We add a set of brand-new Vortec iron heads fitted with 1.94/1.50-inch valves. A hydraulic flat-tappet camshaft provides 0.435-inch/0.460-inch lift specs which give the engine the idle quality of a true muscle car without requiring periodic lash adjustments. Its durable rotating assembly has aluminum pistons delivering a 9.0:1 compression ratio.
As one of Chevrolet Performance’s Turn-Key crate engines, the 350 HO Turn-Key comes with the intake manifold and distributor installed. It also includes the carburetor, front-accessory kit, starter, fuel pump, and spark plug wires.
Selecting a crate engine is one of the biggest decisions and most important investments you’ll make for your project vehicle. A factory-designed and engineered turn-key crate motor provides just about everything you need to get this classic 350 up and running in your project vehicle. Chevy Performance Turn-Key engines represent an outstanding value, and they are perfect for enthusiasts who have built a chassis and need reliable power to get it down the road.
