looper1984 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I recently purchased a 260 with a V8 conversion. Car is in great running condition with lots of power. Can anyone give me a guess to how much hp it may have. Possibly what it may run in the 1/4 mile? Chevy 350 sbT350 auto transS/R Torquer Cylinder heads4 barrel holleyreduced to single exhaust just past the transmission pan I'm not sure about the rear end but i has the two drive shafts http://s1363.photobucket.com/user/bradsixfive/library/?sort=6&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Gadsby Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 A local dyno and dragstrip would be your best bet. Too many variables and unknowns to bench dyno a mild SBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) There are 350s that make 150hp and there are 350s that make over 400 hp. If it's a weak-ass worn out motor and trans, it will go 8s in the 1/8 and high 13s or low 14s in the 1/4. With a healthy, built motor and slicks it will go 7.30s in the 1/8 and high 11s in the 1/4. Nitrous and a good driver and you are in the high 6s in the 1/8 and 10s in the 1/4. I race with a buddy with a healthy 350 and a Craig's list T350. I've got like a million bucks in my car and he got his for like a case of beer-he has just as much fun as I do. Should be a lot of fun for you. Please go to the track and let us know how it goes!

looper1984 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks for the info. Currently doing body work. I'll have to dyno in a month or so. I'll post results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoSammyT Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 RebekahsZ nailed it. From what I see I'd guess you're probably closer to 275 hp. Around a 13s qtr mile. Good luck and congrats on the V8Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
