I just had my engine installed a little over a week ago and I am still breaking it in, so I haven't had the chance to stomp on it yet to see what she can do, but it definitely feels stronger that the old 350 that was in it. I put on the Chevy Performance aluminum intake, HEI distributor, Chevy bowtie spark plug wires and Holly Street Avenger 670 carburetor. Next will be the Hedman headers and Magnaflow exhaust. Only thing I can't decide on yet is a clutch fan or flex fan.
