Want to do a mild 350 rebuild any advice?

I have not seen the no EGR intake get any decent mpg number's, now if was strictly power issue then by all mean's the carb intake with an adapter.

oh forgot about the egr deal.

when I rebuilt mine I did a stock rebuild kit and I upgraded to the better bearings, biggest comp cam I could find for computer controlled, new valve springs flat top pistons, summit shorty headers, a few odds and ends and I bought a head from a boss for 75 because I had a few cracks in one. I did not know how to do a rebuild or the tools so I paid the boss 500 to help me through it. all in all I was in it about 22-2300 bucks.

I wanted to go vortec heads and bore .30 over but the cheapest used heads i could find were 35o a set and I wish i would have gone .30 over but budget did not make this possible... wish i would have went for it anyway and figured something out

P.S. i dont get anywhere close to 2o mpg though.... about half.. around 12 in town maybe 15 highway with a good tail wind lol

Thanks for all the replies. I am definitely a novice to rebuilding an engine so what would I have to do to get around 300 horse with no budget? Forget the mileage part, I would rather have more power. As far as pulling the engine and stuff I'm going to do that myself.

Draggin95's plan will give you a nice engine, maybe even a little more than 300 HP just not for 2k unless you find some good deals. You can save a bunch running the carb intake an tbi adapter if you don't need the egr for emissions checks
