Looks Great! It’s a BluePrint 383 - I’ve seen some of your other posts. Looks nice and clean.

Lower duration and quite a bit of lift. It’s gotta be a torque monster! What does the dyno sheet say?? That’ll be a fun motor.

Holy schnikes... over 400 lb ft from a high idle to 6000 rpm! I did not expect the 436hp, but you have the cubes and heads. Really, really nice! That will be a roasting beast! Good luck with the install.

Nice and clean! Super flat torque curve. Tons of power but should have great street manners with that low rpm torque too.

Nice set-up I have the same engine install in our vette. What carb are you going to install? I had installed a Holley 770 street avenger . I could not get it to run right . lowered the jets two sizes and added a lighter secondary spring and still did not run well. I replaced the carb with a Holley 600 and it ran a lot better as I drive it' to the shop to get a Holley Sniper efi installed

gjohnson what brand are your valve covers, are they short or tall. I like them a lot and look somewhat like the L82 covers

gmcman52 Eddie Motorsports Aluminum Valve Covers MS108-29P I wanted the vintage look and these fit the bill. They are tall to clear roller rockers.
