What is the MAX lift for stock Chevy 350 heads?

depending on the type of head anywhere from 550 to 600 NEW ANSWER- YOU said stock, so in that case anything over 400 lift will cause spring coil bind, and brake the spring. NEW ANSWER- somewhere between .450 to .500 should be max lift before any binding on 87+ heads, stock lift is between .417 and .430 with 1.5 ratio stock rockers


What should you do to the heads on a 350 Chevy for a cam with 292 dur and a 501 lift?

I wouldn't be so worried about the heads as the pistons. Make sure you have enough clearance so that an open valve won't hit a piston.

Can I use a camshaft with a 488 lift with freshly rebuilt stock 462 double hump heads on a 350 without getting bigger springs?

Can you run a Chevy 350 cam in a Chevy 305 with stock 305 heads?

Yes, but running a 350 cam with 305 heads is not effective,you need to run 350 heads as well. In order to benefit from a 350 cam you need something to flow that extra fuel and air, so using 350 heads along side of the 350 cam will be the cheapest and best choice. HAVE FUN!! A 350 head can physically bolt onto a 305 block. However, 350 heads can have the valves extend into the cylinder and contact the cylinder wall (even with the smaller 305 cam). The 350 cam in the 305 with stock heads will work. You wont want to use 350 heads you will lose compression due to the largers combustion chambers.


If you put a stock stle rocker arm with a longer slot on a 350 will you have to check for valve clearance?

No, It does not change the ratio of the rocker arm. ( lift or duraration ) They are designed to keep from cutting into the rocker arm stud if you have a 500 lift or more camshaft that's it.


Can your replace the valve guides on a 93 Chevy 350 without removeing the heads if so how?

NO... You MUST remove the heads and take them to a machine shop and have the valve guides replaced. No other way.


Is a 1989 350 engine the same as a 1997 350?

NO. The intire fuel system, Heads, Intake and valve train / cam and lifters are DIFFERENT.


Will a 489 cam lift work in a Chevy 350 with automatic transmission?

It will if you change these parts. You will need a stall converter and you will also HAVE TO CHANGE the valve springs to stop valve spring coil bind. You will also have to have push rod guide plates installed on the heads. GOOD LUCK.
