Default 347 install

After over 6 months my engine installation is just about done. We just haven't had the time to dedicate to do it quickly and what was originally just going to be getting a 347 stroker kit on an early model block turned into me getting a TKO 500 trans, 255 lph FP, T-Rex ext. FP, adj. clutch cable, 42 lb. inj. Anderson power pipe, Wild Rides battle boxes, Centerline Rims, Pro M 90 MM, MAF, EGR eliminator palte, drag radials with front skinnies, aluminum driveshaft, Lakewood driveshaft loop, Energy Susp. motor mounts, SFI bellhousing, edelbrock waterpump, etc.

I got a custom grind cam by Jay Allen, Canfield 195 heads, SCAT 4340 crank, scorpion rr's, windage tray, Hamberger's oil pan and am psyched to see what it will do on the dyno. We just have to re-install the SC and we're done.

I'll post the numbers/pics when it's done.

It's been a huge job and WAY more than I figured on taking on. It's the domino effect though and onceI started getting into it, I figured I might as well do it right and do it once.

This was my first one to and while it's coming together great, I've definitely learned a lot along the way.

Below is a link to the photobucket site, where some pics are. They're at least a few months old, but it will still give you an idea for what we took on.

It's painful,I know,especially for me and supposedly it will be in the next couple weeks,but I'm not holding my breath.Check out the pics. I'd love to hear what you think.

Me and my buddy both have kids and it's just a pain in the a** to find the time. I'm getting rammy though, which I wasn't in the winter.

Let me know what's up with your HP T-76 and that is going to be sick.
