RE: Picked up my new engine
According to a desktop dyno and comparing it to what Edelbrock states (I'm using a more aggressive cam then what Edelbrock shows), it should be around 350hp with 380 ft lbs TQ.

Its purdy... If it were mine it wouldnt have so much chrome and the heads would be painted as well. More sleepy that way,, sleepy = sneaky. But it does look nice and with the block/front cover painted it will dteail and contrast nice.

Don't forget that you're going to need a new set of rear tires after the first couple of days with it as well though

What you need now Slick is a set of big mirrors you can put under the motor at car shows so everybody has to put on their exta heavy duty sunglasses when they look at your car. Man, that's a lot of shiny stuff.

RE: Picked up my new engine
You're going to have a nice little sleeper on your hands with that thing. Other than your rims, some poor unsuspecting ricer might mistake your ride for a nice little stock mustang. 350 hp!! NIIICE. You will probably lose a little to the rear wheels with that AOD but thats still going to be a torqy little powerplant. What size tires are you running right now? Hopefully something around 245 or 255, that motor is going to make your squiiiiirrrrreelly! Beautiful!

RE: Picked up my new engine
Right now I have 225x45's all around, some place in the future I'm going to put a set of 245's in the rear. These are brand new and it kind of kills me to take them off right now. Humm, maybe burn them off would be better.. Yea, she's going to look relativity tame from the outside for sure..
