its alive!!!!!

My motor swap is done...

I now have a happily nested 350 in where my 305 used to be.

I now have headers!

I now have a carbuerator.

Im a happy happy girl!

The only catch: The car isnt moving yet... I wont let my husband bolt the tranny to the fly wheel until the locks are changed in the car.

So what's the buildup on the new motor? What tranny is going in there?

350....

.030 over
edelbrock performer RPM cam and intake
750cfm edelbrock carb
World Product Sportsman II heads, 64cc
chevy pink rods
keith black pistons
forged crank
etc etc

Should scream

oh i forget complete MSD ignition with a Accel distributer.

The 700 R4 is going back behind it til i find something to replace it with an dthe money to buy the replacement.


the reason i need locks: someone broke into my car.. stole my stereo and got a set of keys to the car. no locks = car no go.
