Chevrolet Performance’s unique Ram Jet 350 combines the classic look of the original Rochester mechanical injection system with the dependability and optimized performance of contemporary electronic port fuel injection. We’ve taken our proven 350 Small-Block and topped it with an exclusive port fuel-injection system that emulates the look of Chevy’s factory fuel-injection systems from the 1950s and ’60s. It’s the perfect choice for a resto-mod hot rod from the original Rochester era.
