Heart transplant
Well the old engine started to turn into a steam engine the last few weeks. So got busy and built up a 290 hp 350 and installed it the last couple nights.
Yanked out the old engine Monday night, Tuesday cleaned the engine bay some what, and tonight installed the new engine and got it started. Fired off on the first turn over. Phew! Tomorrow night finish up the small details and break it in.

Nice work man! Sounds like you've been a busy man the past few days, and the work paid off!

Dennis...I am impressed, that motor is a beauty! Why don't you bring some of that magic down here and we can get the Longhorn running! You will have time after your classes next week!
Give us the specs on that thing. Is that a crate motor...and what did you put on it?
