he is going to put it together and then sell it probably for 2500-3000 but if he doesn't he is going to get headers.

by the way it's a 327.. supposedly vette motor but the intake wasn't on so we put our old intake and carb on it.. rebuilt it and had the guy at the machine shop match up a little bit bigger cam for it and port the heads and other than that nothing.

Thats cool, the engine is probably out of a late 60's vette, if its a vette engine.
