How will this engine perform?
If you took this engine and put a superram setup on it how would it perform. Good, middle of the road? Would all of my accessories bolt up? I know I could "build it cheaper and better" for the money, but i'm lookin at all of my options.

Looks like a lot of cam for a TPI and I believe you'll need the vortec intake (Scoggin-Dickey or Street & Performance). You might just check with Scoggin-Dickey as they will sell you (at least they did) a complete Fast Burn package with the TPI included - www.sdpc2000.com. About the only change would be to drill the manifold for the heater bypass or eliminate it (it's already eliminated on the motor as built). Since you can't get the hose any longer, it's probably a neater package without it. But - if you have a 35th Anniversay, why would you want anything other than stock???

It's up to you - but stock 35's will always command a premium. Change it and it'll become just another C4. I'd at least keep as much as the old stuff as you can in a box somewhere and try not to hack up the harness.
