If you assembled an engine hall of fame, be assured that the venerable Chevy 350 small block would be a charter member.
Yup, from classic musclecars and prewar hot rods to Checker Cabs and Hummer H1s, the trusty SBC 350 has been a time-tested recipe for fun and reliability for decades.
…Which is exactly why Summit Racing offers a new drop-in 350 Chevy crate motor good to the tune of 300 horsepower.

Assembled by the experts with ATK High Performance Engines, this 350 Chevy is a smart alternative to the hassle of junkyard scrounging and the expense of a DIY rebuild.
That’s because these aren’t rebuilt engines—ATK starts with all new block castings(!) and tops them off with new, enhanced Vortec-inspired cylinder head castings(!!) too.
These engines are fitted with a hydraulic roller cam and feature a one-piece RMS. You’ll need to add your own intake and induction setup, along with an ignition system and accessory drive, and then you’re pretty much ready to plunk it in your engine bay.

All told, the combo runs an easy-to-live-with 9.4:1 compression ratio, good for 300 horsepower and 375 ft.-lbs. of torque.
Best of all, since it’s built by ATK, the Summit Racing 350 Chevy Crate Motor carries a two-year unlimited mile warranty—try getting that from a junkyard block.

Will the 350 Chevy with 300 hp handle a turbo
I would like to know if i could put a turbo on this engine that your selling its a 350 with 300 hp
Hey Keith, sorry for the slight delay in a response here—I wanted to speak directly with the R&D folks behind this engine to get you the best possible answer, and here’s what they had to say:
““The Summit Racing 350/300 has cast pistons and the rings are gapped for mild performance use. Due to these limiting factors, it would be better to upgrade to a Forged piston and gap the rings for mild boost.”
Hope this helps, thanks for reading.
