I didn't mean any offense man, I just have seen time and time again people throwing parts at a new engine without doing any research, or having some guy who supposedly knows a thing or two about engines (I don't care if it is your dad or not) put together a motor, drain your bank account...only to have a mediocre performer that a well built engine will walk all over. I truely hope that this is not the case in your situation.

well its not goin to be that bad *** of an engine but it should do a whole lot better
than the 305 i had in it..
either way i want to drop an ls in there maybe next year after i graduate an move to az for
college thats why im not spending a whole lot on it...
i just kno its not goin to have a huge cam in there, its just a lil bit bigger than the stock..
as for the paint i think of goin with that hugger orange with flat black hood an the hood blisters orange also
