Its back together, keep the fingers crossed

My plans got changed today, so I was able to finish putting the car back together. It is together, slight vac leak, and some loose rockers (loose on purpose). It runs like crap, not much power, loads up bad at idle. Goal is just to see if it rounds the lobes off in 2-4 weeks of driving

So I got...
3.4 block, crank, pistons
93 s10 truck cam (not much lift, set for tq, not hp)
headers
melling high volume oil pump
18.5lb injectors
stock 3.1 ecm system.

We shall see!

Actually I'd rather have a convert with a mild v8, no killer power.

Even just going back to putting this melling in, in a few weeks will kill my budget. I spent to much money on my last toy car and I'm trying to keep from doing the same on this.
