Just wanted to know the hp and torque specs on a '88 C1500 with the 350.

What Jeff says when he replies to this thread

200 hp 310 tq in 94 and 95 year trucks

210 hp 310 tq in 89-93 trucks

165 hp 235 tq in 88 year (from chilton manual. could be a typo)

Well that's pretty anemic! My lil 302 in the F150 was rated at 185hp/270tq ow:

So does it feel like 165 hp 235 tq!?
:crazy:

i got a 94 with a 350 TBI, i definately can feel that torque... especially in the low end... dunno about the horsepower tho...

 

[HBjeff]

thats pretty weak, considering edmunds.com said my v6 has 160 hp and 235 ftlb of torque.

chiltons says the 88 4.3 was way lower too. who knows. they might be wrong. their manual sucks anyways :insane:

I think that all sounds right. But as it applies to you, I think it means a Vortec or LS1 swap :rocking:

slow, very slow. it takes like a minute to accelerate from 110 to 130 on the highway (kmh) ow:


it can still break loose though

:rocking:
