How does my engine swap look?

Here are some pictures of my TPI swap when I just got it running, so everything wasnt finished or perfected. Since these, the motor has been out and I put aluminum heads on it and all kinds of other stuff. How does it look for just getting it going?

looks good. How did the performance rank compared to what you were thinking it would do?

Well, it didnt run too bad. I had some tranny problems and such, so I never got it working just right. I had to quick put a regular TH-350 with a tight converter in it so it was drivable when the car got painted. I only probably had 150 miles on it before I stored it for winter again and pulled the motor back out. The car could beat my buddies 6 speed 99 WS6 until I ran out of breath in 3rd gear because the car has 3.73s. Around 5000 rpms in third, I suddenly got a good look at the nice tail lights of a Trans Am
The car G-teched 13.9 at 103, so take that however you want. I have a ton of new parts on it now, including a set of cleaned up ED 6085s, and I expect to thourougly dust that T/A now. I'll post times this spring. Also, thanks for the compliment.
