GM 350HO, Air-Gap Intake, headers and straight pipes.
What a difference from the old L-48.

Still breaking it in. The cam is the one that comes with the 350HO.
Slightly lumpy idle.

Can't wait 'till it's broken in to pound on it!

Yeah, I have a PCV and breather on one side and a breather on the other. I want to get a regular oil fill cap for the side that has the PCV.

Les, so you finally got it in. Seems like it was last spring when you were rounding up parts. It looks almost as good as mine. So what carb are you using?

Gotcha

Keep an eye on those valve covers, I have them in my Formula and they leak a little at the bolts and gromets.

Been a long time coming Les. It looks great. I bet you are glad to have it all together again. Time to crank up some tunes and have some fun.
