Okay, I made a post on here a few months back about possibly rebuilding the 350 in my '76 Vette. At the time I was indecisive about whether or not I really wanted to rebuild the engine. But now it turns out that I have coolant leaking into my heads (bare in mind that this engine had a rebuild 4 years ago, at the local NAPA, and only has MAYBE 15,000 miles on it since) so I decided to do another rebuild. From what I understand it wasn't a complete rebuild at NAPA..ie pistons and such were not replaced. I believe they referred to it as a "re-ring" job. I have already began the process of removing the engine so there's no turning back for me at this point.
My questioning comes with the parts to use. It is a daily driver but something like 300HP would still be nice. Can I achieve that kind of power without going the aluminum head route? I'm not too keen on spending $1600 (keep in mind we're talking Canadian dollars) on a pair of aluminum heads. Aside from that I was thinking of going the Edelbrock route..performer series stuff as far as the cam, intake, carb and all of that go.
