motor finally back in with plenty of cam ;)

after doing a v6 to v8 swap in my 84 firebird the 350 lasted exactly 4 days on the road and the cam was then destroyed all the lopes were squared off and the cam gear was destroyed which ended up detroying the crank bearings and oil pump

so i ripped the motor out and got it rebuilt and she is finally back in and running specs of the engine are

350 4 bolt main .30 over
decked ported and polished 416 heads
lunati 00010 bracket master 2 cam
steel crank
comp timing chain
edelbrock performer intake
750 q-jet carb
high performance dizzy
dish pistons

here is a video of idle after break in was done and timing was set
