Looks great.. Wats the specs on the cam if ya dont mind.

229/234 615/615 109.9 lsa

Small duration. But A.I.'S combos work great with them. Kinda wish I went solid roller but there is always next time I guess.

Seems like all ai cams are specd lot smaller than le's. Im running 236/244 on 110 and im wondering if its gona peak past 7000k.. Im lookin forward in seeing ur results.

I had the same cam in my old combo as urs and hated it. My friend emailed L.E. and he said it was to big for his 383 but speced that for my 357.

Sweet baby Jesus!

looks great whats the car weight u think

Love this build! How come you didnt go 40 over to keep with your username?

Not sure but I'd guess 3000-3200. Still want to get a fiberglass hood,lexan glass all around then I think ill have a sub 3k raceweight.

Made my username when I had the old motor. I sold it and its still running around town. I got this shortblock for next to nothing. Just put in fresh bearings and rings

ya itll be 700-800 pounds lighter than factory specs thats alot

Love those valve covers!

i'll take em.

Thanks I actually ordered the wrong ones and got these and liked them. I wanted the raised ones.

Subscribed. Looking good so far!!

Looks good so far!!! I got the polished valve covers like those. Been thinkin of blackin out under the hood like old school muscle cars to play off the 396 LTx :) You gonna hide wires & fuel lines while your at it??? Keep the pics comin!!!

Ohhhh nice. I know this car. Can't wait to see it fire up.

come on lets fire it up already. I need some LTx fix so I get motivated to get mine going. Its only been 3 years..
