87 350 Roller Engine. Iron LT1 heads (ported and polished), Aluminum Intake, Holley 670 Street Avenger Carb, Hedman Headers (for Camaro), LT1 Cam, Aluminum High Flow Water Pump. I'm not sure what rockers were put on there. Everything is new

I don't have any pics of the motor installed in the car with all accessories on but I have some pics of the motor with it on the stand.

Almost forgot Accel distributor, coil, plugs and wires
