And going from 230 to 250 is really not a very big improvement, "you'd get 300hp out of it" is a stretch, by that logic alone I should just as easily get around 275hp out of the 230....
With a 1.94 intake 1.60 exhaust lump port head. Flat top pistons. .550 lift cam. 4 barrel, headers, hei. Possibly a head shave and 0 deck a .040 over 250 made 320 hp and 275 torque.
My 292 with a 1.94 lump port head and 1.60 exhaust valves with ross lp pitons, .040 over bore, 0 decked, .030 head shave. Fairly mild .499 lift cam, 4 barrel, headers, hei is expected to make 310 hp and 330+ torque judging off of Very similar builds.
There's no replacement for displacement. Over bore and stroking out that 230 would help for sure. V8's bore me unless they are over 500 cubic inches. lol!
