Chevy 350 engine horsepower?

Question

Well I was really curious how much horsepower a Chevy 350 engine had stock, this one came out of a 1988 Chevy Silverado pickup (We want to know because we want to put in into our Camaro XD)

We're not exactly sure about the exact year of the Camaro, all I can tell you is that it's in the 70's

Answer 1

I own a shop, and a set of Chevy Small Block Code books. If you will look on the passenger side of the block, in the front, just below the head, there is a pad that has some numbers & letters stamped on it. If the engine hasn't been built, then I can tell you what it is, or should I say was from the factory. The letters are the most important to identify the engine build. There should be some such as a few numbers followed by H7P, PHC, or any random combination of three digits. These letters identify the engine, and I can use the books to tell you what it was from the factory. The horsepower of these engines differ, but on the bright side most of the truck engines are four bolt main engines. Some were 160 horsepower, and some were 195 horsepower, so the only way to tell is to get that code.
Part 2:
I don't know why someone keeps following my answers, and voting them as bad answers?? I am 100% sure of my answer, and have the books in which I can scan the information, and email it to you. I have alerted Yahoo of this issue, and for someone to just go down the list, and vote bad answers to all of them, is someone trying to get best answers. This is against the rules of Yahoo Answers, and if someone does this intentionally, they will loose their privledge to answer questions. They can see how anyone votes, and following someones answers only to vote bad answer can be seen. I wouldn't do that, as that will only lead to being banned from playing.
Glad to help out, Good luck!!!

Answer 4

It probably rates around 220 to 250 horsepower stock. The torque would be it's strength as it came out of a pickup. It's relatively simple to increase horsepower with a performance computer. Try Jeg's to begin with. You didn't mention what year the camaro was, but most chevy small blocks fit in the same space. Good luck

Answer 5

That engine is around 210 horsepower.

Answer 7

chevy silverado is probably still carbuerated and puting out roughly 190 hp and about 250-380 ft lbs of torque

if you have under 160hp then you got ripped off, because my 1979 small block 301 put out a 160 hp so no a 88 silverado should not have 60 hp

Answer 8

I agree with ice 220 to 250 hp. If the truck was a 1988 it should be a throttle body fuel injected engine. Which means the head angles at the intake are different. It your planning on using a carb. you may have to change the intake to an aftermarket job. but if the camaro is also fuel injected should be a simple swap.

Answer 9

Depends if its carb, EFI or TBI. if its TBI (my work pickup is an 87), i would say between 180-220 HP.
