I had one with 10:1 compression that was making close to 350 hp with decent heads.
yes it will work and give more horse power biggercamsmallerengine
Depends on the cam.
best guess would be 25 horsepower.more with timing advance.maybe 35.
There is no set number as to how much horsepower the addition of a particular camshaft will add. There are many variables that go into the performance of an engine, from the heads to the ignition to the oiling system. So many, that no number can really be assigned. If the prior setup of the motor is known, perhaps an estimation can be made, however this would be very rough. "Chevy 350" is extremely ambiguous, as the cam's performance increase would be based on the compression ratio, the heads and all of their specs, the ignition setup and tuning, the intake manifold and carburetor type and tuning and much much more. The 292 is pretty lopy camshaft for a high rpm range(up to 7000rpm) and will not be good for a low compression, low output motor. Here is a snippet of info about Isky's 292 hydraulic flat tappet cam from their website: "292 Mega Hyd. Compression Ratio: 10-11:1 Rough Idle RPM range:3000-7000 recommended gear ratio: 4.11/4.56 Carburetor rating: 650-780 Combination Hi-Performance Use/Bracket" It's a big cam but it will run awfully is thrown into a stock motor, as you can see the motor has to be a match for this cam and the vehicle needs to be setup for it correctly. Remember matched components and good tuning are more important than a big cam.
around 220hp i would say
A stock 1984 Chevrolet 350 small block V8 engine has 160 horsepower. The output can be increased by installing a free flowing exhaust system, high performance cam, or electronic fuel injection.
It varies from 145 to 370, depending on a lot of variables including compression ratio, cam profile, and head design.
carb, cam, intake, headers, heads, msd igntion, or a 350
Depends on which 350 it has. One has about 240 hp and another engine offered in 71 was a 270 horsepower 350. With an exhuast and the mild cam I would place it give or take around 20-25 hp more than the original stats. Headers would be a big gain with the aftermarket exhaust.
cheep = have it tuned and timed expensive = rebuild it with a hp cam and port and polish the heads.
You can just pull out the old one and put in a new one. However, I've used the Comp Cams 292, and it wants more compression, more gear, and a looser converter than stock.
It depends on the cam.
