I installed the same 347 long block into a customers car about 2 years ago. It ran really well and haven't had any problems with it at all. The best thing about it is that if you ever want to go faster you can just upgrade the heads and you already have a good bottom end.

You knew it had a cam for sure. But wasn't ridiculous. Don't know what the vacuum was, but the guy drives it everyday.
