355 Perf. block w/ T-10 Borg warner $3000???

I'm buying this car, and wanted to know if its worth the $$$... somthing to set my conscience at ease, since by the time you all read this i will own the car...
Here are the specs and stuff:
1983 Z-28 Camaro
355 with following internals:
30 Over, Comp cam's 280 Magnum, 1.5:1 Roller rockers, Aluminum Chevy Bow-tie Heads FUlly ported, Performer RPM intake, 650 Carb with mech. 2ndaries, 3000 Miles after on it as of today.
Tranny is Super T-10 Borg warner comppletelly rebuilt with heavy Pressure plate and new clutch and all that good stuff, with a hurst 4-speed shifter.

Body is Straight no rust, dents ect.. but needs paint... (looks original paint to me...)
Interior is cool except a little dirty and a few cracks in side panels (none on dash) and a new headliner, floorboards have no rust....
All of this for $3000.00 SOunds good to me, im buying it tommarow, but i was curious about quick efficient mods to this already Cammed up Engine, it has alot of power im guessing around 350-370 Horsepower but im sure i could make more with those heads and cam and stuff... maybe a bigger carb?
Rear end is posi 3.23 with 275/60/R16 Tires
I hope to god i made a good descision, cause its mine now!!!

Sounds good to me. I looked on the blue book 3600$ is the high bluebook. so if its as good as you said and they dident lie about the high performance parts sure its worth 3000$
I would try to get the casting numbers off the block to make sure its a 350 and not a warmed over 305. Anyway have fun !

well i took a magnet to the heads and it didnt stick so there aluminum, also i know the performance shop that built the engine and called them to get the info on the engine and whats in it, since the guy who owns it doesnt know wtf is in it... im glad he doesnt know, otherwise he would want alot more for it :-)
