Question Small Block performance upgrade suggestions

My engine compartment will only fit 2 small blocks. I presently have 2 newer 350 Magnum EFI Mulptiport engines.

Please suggest horsepower upgrades.

Thank you very much. RB

It depends on how much money you want to spend (cubic dollars)
you can put a blower on which is the best but most money or you can stroke it to a 406 or 383 and make a very good motor
there is ton we can do ,,give me the amount ,,,wecome to the board

Would $4,000 to $6,000 do anything?

How about $3,000 per engine?
I am considering Stainless Marine manifolds and risers as a start. Any thoughts?

The engines are out of the boat, therefore now may be an ideal time to make some upgrades.

yes that may help a few MPH , I would add a stroker crank and pistons,and port the heads and go to like 9 to one compression and change cams with the stainless exhaust and that would make a potent package for alittle more than you were talking

To start with port the heads and angle cut them to get 9 to 1 comp. add you exhaust and a cam and reprogram the ecu and that will be a good start

Thank you for your thoughts.

Would it be better to trade for Scorpions (340 hp)? My 350 MPI EFIs are newer. I think I can get them on a trade plus $6,000.

If your motors don't have them already, upgrade to the vortec heads. Looks as though they will flow nearly 400 hp without a lot of work. Not sure how much as you are limited in cam choices with the wet exhaust. i'll dig up the article as soon as i can.
