A few more "before" shots:

The "old" 350

So the lesson here folks is DON"T BUY ENGINES FROM KRAGEN!!! I had problems with this motor after about 10K miles and after 60K I'm getting rid of it.

This time the problem was in the heads which I can't blame on Kragen, I guess, as they were Edelbrock Performer RPM's:

What killed the motor this time and for all time!

I guess pieces of valve banging around is bad.
