Thank you.... The forum help build it.. I started to list some of the names but erased them after I got to 6... A lot of people helped...


Here is the build thread.. you can see real fast who knows what, and all those that helped.. And to those that helped.. thank you again
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ort-block.html


It moves like a bat out of hell... 1st and second even with 180 tread ware tires are a joke, just burns through it... 3rd starts to calm down, but it to will start to peel at peek hp/tq rpm rang... I have gotten used to it now, and it is very linear and controllable. friggen blast! :-)

These are all beautiful. I started this thread to get ideas for my '76 350. In a couple months I'm going to garage mine, pull the engine, and get to work. I've gotten some really good motivation for your pics, and I'm pretty sure I know which direction I want to go in. I've been saving up, and paying off my credit cards, so it's time to start amassing some parts! Here's the Bubba'd-up mess I'm starting with. For now I think I'm keeping my original block and throwing on an Edelbrock 2022 top end kit, and building out from there. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!

Forget flat tappet cams and go with a roller cam. Yeah, it costs more but you'll be glad you did.

I actully thought mine was kind of pretty. My garage floor is definitely nicer since I eliminated the oil leaks.

Nice breather set up on the valve covers.
Who manufactures it and where did you purchase the set up?
