WELL I FINALLY GOT MY MOTOR TOGETHER FOR MY LATEST PROJECT. IT'S A 350 4 BOLT, WITH 87 SWIRL PORT 64 CC TRUCK HEADS,FLAT TOP SEALED POWER PISTONS, ELDEBROCK PERFORMER INTAKE & 600 CFM CARB, & DOUG THORLY TRI-Y HEADERS. I'VE GOT A 700R4 TRANNY & A F@RD 9'' WITH 3.00-1 GEARS. I'M HOPING TO GET AT LEAST 20 MPG WITH THIS SETUP. THINK IT WILL WORK???

(OH & IT'S GOING IN A 72 SHORT FLEET)

I think that we are going to have to put that in my truck first. You know just to test it out. Just kidding!!! that looks great. When your ready to drop it in let me know and I'll come give you a hand.

That'll never work in that truck. Save yourself the misery of failure, just crate it up and send it to me, and I will dispose of it for ya! After all, what are friends for?

Looks good man, best of luck with it!
