    oh and by the way, even though I have went through such trouble with building this engine myself, I have a line on a Fully forged 671 blown 350 built by BDS ready to drop in. Oh man how that motor would complete this car. Doing what I can to aquire it, wish me luck :D

    I remember one called "Morris Major" running at Bremerton Wa back in the '70s. Broke a rod end on a ladder bar and took out the lights on the top end, needed a couple trucks to haul the pieces back to the pits...

    No dyno sheet. But I bought it from a close friend of my father. Its a ZZ4 GMPP 350 with venolia forged blower pistons and a comp blower cam. It can be run 10% under or over with current pulleys.

    I would like to run mid tens. Or at least I think so. I will have to see how the car feels at that speed. It felt smooth and solid running 12.30 and I have added a little weight since then so it should be good.

    I would like to see this motor very conservatively put out 500 hp to the wheels.

    I really really want a pair of vintage Crestline aluminum front runners, but they would set me back a minimum of $2k if I could find them...:(

    I finally got the new motor installed. Its coming together nicely. started planning out the fuel plumbing and coolant plumbing since everything has to be upgraded. It sure has been more work (and money) than expected. I really hope i dont roll it over within the first couple runs. lol..:rolleyes:
