Default long time no see

whats up guys well its been a while since i been on here but i have plenty of new things to tell since my last post i have put a holley 650 double pump on the camaro a victor jr intake and an msd hei distributor and i never could have imagined the difference but there is more good news. and here it goes so my buddy nikki needed a motor but didnt have the money for machine work and i had a 350 4 bolt main fresh out of the machine shop that a guy gave me for doing some work on his car but a 400 small block full motor sitting in his backyard it had been there about a month and he came to me and proposed and even trade and i told him if the 400 wasnt locked up id trade him block for block so i went over there and sure enough it was locked up so i said is there anyway you can give me a little bit of money and the block and ill give you the 350 i expected him to say 20 bucks i would have took it then he said alright ill give you the 400 a turbo 350 trans and fifty dollars cash and i jumped on it. so i took it to the house beat it apart and cleaned it up and miked it and guess what the bore is 4.125 thats a standard bore 400 small block and it aint even got a lip in the cylinders then i ran the numbers and its a high nickel crack resistant block so now i have a future 600+ hp 406 and a th350 im gonna build to hold it and gas money man im so happy right now

I wanna see the 6 sec. pass for sure! Even if it's a 1/8th mile pass! In the 1/4 that's faster than any pro stock car, so it would really be nice to see!

I've got a black back seat too, but it's diamond tuck from my '71 Camaro.
