The 6" rod will make more peak and like a higher RPM and the shorter rods will make a tad bit more torque and will peak tq and hp wise a little lower.

Okay, where'd you get that air cleaner decal? I've been looking for one of those.

Hey, Five7,
If you're still running the dual snorkel and I believe you are, you'll love this decal, which was made to fit that application (I bought, hoping to use the dual snorkel on my new motor, but since it won't fit the carb, I modified the decal). Check out the following link--the part number is DC1047, $10.50 + shipping:
Here's the direct link:
http://osborn-reproduction.com/catal..._Position=PAR:
Home page:
http://osborn-reproduction.com/
Though the name of the company includes "reproduction," the decal had GM stamped on the backing paper. At any rate, original or repo, the decal is first-rate.
That said, a local print shop can surprise you. Note what I had made for the rockers and rear bumper. Looks stock, IMO (If you'd like the template that I used, let me know):

Took awhile to navigate their site, but got there.
Thanks. I've been searching eBay for months for that thing.

Wow I wonder if they can make the bumper decal for the 83-84 5.0 liter bumper decal for the Z/28s but instead of 5.0 put a 5.7 on it. Im all about factory looking stuff!

Thanks for the link! It's great. I also liked the Z28 emblem with the 5.7 liter HO decal and then the Irocz center cap!

A thread like that was started on the Tech forum a couple of years ago. Let's not go there with this thread.

Here is my 350 swap that took place this spring. My winter project will be cleaning up the wiring mess under the hood.

Yah, it was all loomed before i ripped the top end off the engine. I want to figure out what i need and don't need and hopefully rip most of it out. I allready ripped out the old engine harness and computer last summer.
meh, the alt works fine right there.
