Here is my attempt at what I've learned fron you guys. Thanks.

Looks great!!! My vote goes for an A+, now how does it run??????

gonna crank er this weekend.

Lookin good. I like the Proform air filter and the accesory bracket. Is the waterneck going to cause the upper hose to foul on the temperature sending unit?

Hey Corvette, no actually the sending unit is in a different place.

Very nice looking engine. Let us know how it runs.

Yup will do. I have learned so much doing my first hp chebbie motor. I found out the truth about how you can't trust machine shops, or quality OE parts vendors,( not saying who but their initials start with Comp Cams and Crane). I found out how important is is to ask questions, and take advice. AND TAKE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISIZM, with a grin. Not everyone will like what you are doing, and some will tell you a better way to do everything. I learned Vortec heads ARE better choices than the 462's I have sank a wad into, but not as good as the Patriots I should have got. I should have 383'd it while I had it at that point where I could have done it. BUT.. its done, its mine and its gonna be a great test bed for more horsepressure down the road. Thanks for everyones input. 350 +.040 @10.3-1. 462 heads @ 61cc's, ported and gasket matched, 2.02 valves, unshrouded, 1.6 rollers, 7/16" studs and guideplates.Girdles. Speedpro hyp. pistons and arp rods. Comp cams 280H., double roller. Edelbrock Tarantula Intake, and Holley 750spdf, msd/ billet dizzy and Hooker super Comps 1 5/8" w/3" collectors. Bless this site. Oh ya and its in a 97 S-10 to maximize hp to wt.

Funny that the exact same set up I had, except for a Weiand Stealth intake . It was nice!
