Picked up a great deal on a motor with less than 1500 miles on it. Having it installed in the car, and it's just about ready to fire. I can't wait to hear it! Once the spring weather hits I'm going to take it and have it tuned.. because I'm sure that's the right thing to do.

Anyone want to guess what kind of numbers I'll put down to the ground?

65mm TB/EGR
73mm MAF

Edelbrock Performer 5.0 heads- 2.02" intake and 1.60" stainless valves, springs good to .540" lift

285 rwhp /310 rwtq

Ditch those cork intake gaskets and either get the rubber ones or use RTV.

What size injectors?

Well I'm not redoing the gaskets now, lol.. It's all put together.. I may stick with the 19s if it seems happy, if not I'll put the 24s in.

It's running.. Ended up having to upgrade the fuel system.. 24's and a bigger fuel pump.

Whenever the snow goes away.. she hits the dyno.
