Be honest, how big of a grin do you have every time you turn the key?

Wow, I always love seeing big blocks in third gens. It makes me smile every time. That motor sounds nasty.

Hey, igotta355z28, how are you liking that 290 horse crate motor? Is it good value for the price? How much do you have wrapped up in yours?

That sounds great, I am a big fan of BBCs, I miss my old 454 like mad. You make me want to put one in my GTA, are there any manifolds that will fit under the hood? (I thought not lol )

i like her she seems to have good power ive been short on funds lately (college student between jobs) so i havnt got the brakes finished witch is keeping me from driving her. ive done a few spins around the block and a cpl launches down another street where there are no houses and she seems strong....hopefully ill have some new brakes soon where and ill take her to the track and get some numbers..so far total in the car ive got about 5k....and im a cpl hundred away from driving her. and on a side note i really want to take her to school so bad cause there are sooooo many hondas there that need to hear a nice v8 rumble...

Sounds great. I am also a college student so I don't have too much money to play around with so that is why I was looking at this motor. Seems like a good deal. I have the 305 right now so it would give me a nice reliable 350 that I could add too at a later time.

It doesn't work because it's not hooked up. I'm using a Autometer oil pressure gauge mounted under the cowl hood.
