Watched the folks from D & A Machine Shop build the 355 chevy engine last Saturday at the Peach State Chevelle Show. They cranked it up after assembly and broke the cam in. Motor sounded really good. Bought a few tickets for the giveaway on Sunday and my ticket was drawn. Am going to D & A's shop in a couple of weeks to see the engine on the dyno to see how it performs. Got a 67 Elky projet that it will work in just great. Here are the specs.
