Thanks for all the compliments! It isn't really anything special, just a rebuilt forged 350 bottom end for a healthy CC306 cam, well ported intake, heads & all the bolt ons available under the sun. I spun out my last 2 stock motors and figured it was time to put an end to that.

I love the CC306 cam. My cars more of a weekend cruiser and is no longer a daily driver so its all good.

The car should be finished by the end of next week! I am so excited I haven't had a chance to enjoy the car in over a year!

What kind of oil pump and why not a canton 6-quart pan. Two things that will really make a engine last!!

Looks great though, cant wait to hear track numbers

Thanks for all the compliments again! All the bolts on the motor have been replaced with ARP Bolts so I'm good there. The Fram filter is there just for break in. I had it laying around in my garage and gave it to the shop to use for the break in. I always run AC Delco filters anyway. The oil pump its a Mellings HO Pump (the good one).

Should be buttoned up within a few days and running.
