Should make for a good setup. With all the boltons and a good tune, you could roll out 400+ at the wheels. Good luck

IF THE MONEY IS RIGHT AND IT IS EVERYTHING IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE GO FOR IT. Otherwise I'd do a 383

I think it's a good price if it's fully dressed.

well, the only thing im worried about would be, "is it what they say it is?" Ask for the reciepts for all the parts, since the motor isnt old they shouldnt have a problem coming up with reciepts.
