    Hi guys, great site.

    I am in the process of putting a 1970 buick 350 back together. need to make sure about the orientation of the connecting rods. With the notches in the pistons pointing toward the front of the block, do all connecting rod spurt holes point toward the cam?

    thanks

    thank you very much for your response. I am swapping out a 225 and putting in this 350 with a t18 four speed in my jeep. It will have new rings and bearings, new seals, four barrel cast iron intake, a ta 112 cam, flow cooler water pump, a holley 650 and a centerforce II pressure plate. I am looking for the famous buick low end torque and aiming for 300 hp.

    I don't know whether you will make the 300 HP number, but I am SURE you will be impressed with the torque
