Finished project

Well I finished my motor swap. Here are some pictures. It's 400 small block. (That spot on the front ground f/x is a bug splatter)

Sucks that the paint on the block got all chipped. The guy who built it thought it would work if he just sprayed over the existing blue.. doh. All of those shots were from the install. It's somewhat cleaner now. Has more power than my LG4 did! I will be ordering a Magnaflow exhaust system on friday.

I need to jet the Holley down. I really don't know anything about carbs or tuning. It's going to be quite the experience.

I'd be more worried about the tranny cause its not going to last very long behind a 400 but thats just me.
