Crate engine swap into 1989 Trans am

Just wondering what your guys think about the engine I will be purchasing soon for my car. I was going to rebuild the old motor but machine work will be way to expensive for it the way I want it done. Here is a link of what I will be purchasing for my car in the next couple days, let me know what you think

I just installed BluePrint's 430 HP 383 engine in my IROC, it runs great and I'm very happy with it. They are used by a lot of the gear head tv shows and even my Roadkill heroes; they all have given them great reviews. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

I used a 750 Holley with vacuum secondaries and an HEI Distributor with vacuum advance.
