this is my small block

I am putting in a 350ci chevy small block with a 2 bolt main,882 heads, an RV cam (.430 lift .288 dur), the tag says its casting 1401027 which I looked up and it means it was from a truck with a 2 bolt main from 1980-85, performer manifold with headers. Running though a world class T5 5 speed from a camaro.

"The only cure for an addiction to speed is bankrupcy" lol.

"If you didn't build it, its not yours"

This will be a daily driver and it is my first car.
Even though this engine is very mild, the car doesn't weigh more than 2700 pounds. This is about a 9:1 power to weight ratio about what an 03 svt cobra or C5 corvette has so judging by that, its gonna be fun :).

The kit I am using is from JTR or jags that run which sets the engine towards the back more than other kits.

This is the inspiration for my Z. I have no idea if Im allowed to use this. It was on streetfire.net so i assumed. If Darius wants me to take it off then tell me. This is the overall goal. I would kill for this car. 600+hp in a 2500 pound car, its so badass. The video is or was on Darius240z.com.

This is it holding its own against a Yamaha R1 which I have been told run 10.2s with a good rider. Correct me if Im wrong.

I hated imports, I hated chevys, now I have an import with a chevy in it. LOL

this is the sticker I'm gonna have made for the back window.

Someday I'd like to take the car apart and put it on a rotisory, strip it of all that road grease and paint it probably yellow or black, but that when I have a lot of money. And am not a power hungry 16 year old. lol

someday....
