2.8 swapped to 350 with pics

so yeah finally had enough money saved up from washing cars to buy a 350 turn-key engine, tranny, tach/gauges, hood, and misc. parts needed for swap. car is still in progress as we speak but it is running, hood isn't on yet and a few little things are left hopefully i can update this week with the finished product. 331 hp 388 torque. http://www.picturetrail.com/85camarodude

Looks like you're making good progress.

Curious how you came up with the HP/torque #'s.

List that carb on eBay or Craigslist as soon as possible so you can get a real carb.

So it's not a dyno sheet for the dyno run of the engine they shipped to you, but one like it.

Not a biggie, just curious.

(I'd still recommend a Holley double pumper over the Performer. I know why they include them in these "turn key" crates, I just don't agree with them.)
