Default Another G Body Swap. Carbureted 5.3!!

I started doing my swap in my 87 Cutlass last week. I am a highschool student and I have a job, so I dont have a lot of time to work on it. I started it now because I lost my license, so I am prolonging it all throughout my 60 days haha. This is a budget build, so dont hate!

Anyways... Heres the motor when I got it and now what it looks like.

The parts are:
Victor Jr. Intake
Summit 750 Carb
Edelbrock 2215 Cam
Pacesetter longtubes
TH400 w/ 3000 stall
Ford 9" w/ 3.00 gears
Various suspension upgrades

Thanks! Thy are painted. And ya I know I need that. Manifold is basically on there with bolts tight now.. Not permanently right now. I believe it was a 1999 Silverado... Only 40,000 miles! I plan on turbo for sure this summer!
