I really wanted to do a 383 from Blueprint. But I think I might have been talked down to a 350, also from blueprint. Something like what Rockenrod put in his. But I still what to go to a local shop that was recommended to see what they have to offer.

I am expecting a big box with 390 hp in it tomorrow. I have had my current engine for 21 years and who knows how long the PO had it before me.

He’s some pictures. It still needs some straitening up. I want to get some accessory brackets that mount lower and more to the side. You might even notice that the ac still doesn’t have a belt on it.

So I finally got my new brackets, ac hooked up, old valve covers and filter lid installed. Vary glad to get the ac hooked back up. It’s been around 110 in LA for the last 2 weeks.
