Should be running two days after I start

I’ll need to visit my local (not so local) muffler shop for a rework since I’m using a like new set of Edelbrock tes headers

New engines always result in boners. And this is a good thing.

Good luck with the install!

Yes sir it is. I figured it would be more enjoyable with this 355

the current head on the 355 is a rebuilt iron tbi truck head. I currently am building probably my last set of heads to replace those though
There made by tfs and are called super 23s
