Should I but the Ramjet 350? is it a good motor? or should I supercharge my



305. 96 C1500 Ext Cab POSI rearend with 4.10 gears

I'd just buy a nice, high HP rebuilt 350 w/Vortec heads and retain your MPFI. Why pay for MPFI (RamJet) when you already have it? A good 350 that puts out around 350-375 HP shouldn't run you more than $2,000 or so, a helluva lot less than the RamJet. Hell, buy the HT383 for that matter.

Problem with HT383

The HT 383 should only be used in 1973 and earlier pre-emissions street vehicles or any year off road vehicles.

I live in phoenix, I have to pass emissions

And you will if you get the correct intake manifold and retain all emissions controls. ANY GMPP motor will carry the disclaimer (for use in pre-73 vehicles) as most come with intakes for 4-BBL carbs.

What type of intake would you recommend. this is a project I would like to start putting together.

Depends on which motor you select. If you select a new crate motor w/Vortec style heads, you can use your existing intake.
