Finally Got Engine In

Well it took a long time but I finally got my 350 in. Not sure what the block year is. Supposedly the engine was built for performance. It's not bad but I seemed to have more torque with my old LG4 engine.

You need to give it some tune time, Ive yet to see a motor run at its full potential without some tuning after a swap. Gotta work the bugs out....how much do you know about the motor? Cant judge it without knowing whats in it.
Been been 7months tuning on mine, I think I'm getting close..

Off hand I don't know much about it. However I can find out everything about it in a day or two. It was built by a friend of mine. He didn't build it as strong as I wanted since I didn't have a high enough TC. Usually with his engines you need a 2600+ TC
