1989 Chevy 350 - 3/11/2008 7:55:50 PM    red_dog007   Posts: 13 Joined: 3/2/2008 Status: offline I am in the process of selling my Bronco II to help fund an engine swap for my Blazer.  I have been offered a 350 from an 89' Chevy Silverado.  Does anyone have any power figures on this engine?  I have been searching Google forever and I can not find the information for the life of me.  Power figures are all over the place and I can not pin point what the ratings are for an 89.

The compression ratio begs for forced induction (supercharger, centrifugal supercharger, or turbo)! _____________________________ Kyle- The new - '04 Buick Rainier CXL The old - '00 Olds Bravada - Traded 5/30/07 The restoration - 1970 Chevelle (in reply to red_dog007) Post #: 2
