What is the torque for a 350 engine?

There's no single answer to the torque of a 350 engine. "350 engine" usually refers to a Chevrolet small-block V8 engine of approximately 350 cubic inches (5.7 liters) displacement. However, the torque output varies wildly depending on several factors:

* Year of manufacture: Torque curves changed significantly over the decades the 350 was produced.

* Modifications: Aftermarket parts like camshafts, intake manifolds, carburetors (or fuel injection systems), and heads drastically alter torque output.

* Engine condition: A well-maintained engine will produce more torque than a worn-out one.

A stock, relatively unmodified 350 from different eras might produce anywhere from 250 lb-ft to over 400 lb-ft of torque. Highly modified 350s can produce significantly more.

To find the torque of a *specific* 350 engine, you need to know its year, model, and any modifications it has undergone. You might find this information on a vehicle's specifications, an engine build sheet, or through an engine identification number.
