Motor swap time! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Brought home the motor I bought this weekend. Met ed455, a real nice guy, his new motor was sitting there in his garage and makes you wanna just go

.

Just got it moved onto the back of the 85 so I can take motor and truck to the shop in one trip to have them do my swap.

Just had to share

Called several places, some didn't even want to mess with it, one quoted me like $1600 for the swap (good lawd) another said $450-500 should do it but it'll be about 2 weeks till he can get it going and probably close to 3 weeks till it's done. So guess I gotta be patient.

Anyone know what sorta HP/TQ numbers this motor setup should ballpark make? Or know of a good dyno nearby the Huntsville AL area that can dyno it (at the wheels) when it's all stitched back up?
