Just put in the 355. Still have alittle work to do, with taking out all of the old fuel injection wires and things.. But its in and running. Drove it home from the shop and ran out of gas. So a cop pulled up behind me and asked what I was doing so I told him I ran out of gas. But the worst part was I was running home with just open headers, so when I got the gas and started he was right behind me. But to my surprise he never pulled me over. Its hard to make open headers quiet!!

nice motor...what are tha specs.

Re: New Motors In!!
 

Can... Cann....... Can i touch it?????

Re: New Motors In!!
 

Its a 355 with 420 horsepower at the fly wheel. It has aluminum heads with an aggressive cam and has roller rockers and an 850 holly carb with long tube headers.. and all types of little things. I just bought a turbo 350 to put behind it, because I don't want to use the 700R4.

85chevy4x4,
Its tough right because we got about 2 feet of snow on the ground so I wont be driving it till spring. The only time that I drove it was from the shop to my house with open headers. I had a smile on my face the whole way home. But i am really existed for spring.

Re: New Motors In!!
 

The cam has a .050 duration with a 459 int. and 486 exh. and the heads are edelbrock performer aluminum cylinder heads, 60899

looks great!congrats on the progress!

Re: New Motors In!!
 

Bet you had a smile from ear to ear when you started it for the first time...I'm betting the carb is a little too big also . I would probably get rid of that fan too before it goes through your hood or your head if you happen to be under there at the time

Re: New Motors In!!
 

Congrats man. I know you had a smile on your face when you fired it up with the cop behind you.lol

Re: New Motors In!!
 

Congrats man! Theres nothing like a new engine!

Re: New Motors In!!
 

ont guy is right that fan is bad news!!! mine went to shreads while dad was reving the motor an busted up the radiator, fan shroud an took some paint off, thank god my dad wasnt hurt!!! an looks nice!! get some rattle can paint an clean that bay up!!!

Re: New Motors In!!
 

x3 on the fan.....they tend to crack where the blades are rivited on. I seen one go through the hood of a 68 camaro. get yourself some electic fans.

Re: New Motors In!!
 

I think I am going to get some electric fans. I am going to see how the carb is in the spring but if I don't like it i am going to get a smaller one. It was on there when I bought the motor. I only paid 2 grand for the motor and everything
