that motor would be good one to pick up , throw a good cam in in, get a performer vortec intake, and a 750 carb. only thing that sucks is that if you get any diecent cam with good lift, alot of machine work will need to be done to the heads.

or you can find a tappet short block, get some vortec heads for 250 bucks, have the machine work done to em, get an xe274 cam for 100 bucks, get some flat tappet lifters for 50, performer vortec intake and a used 750 carb or something.

the second combo is good for about 400-425 hp

if ya need help building one, ya know how to find me.
