Just wanted to let you all know I am the proud owner of the 355 that Aaron had for sale a couple of weeks ago. I just sent it to Northwestern performance machine shop ta stick it on the dyno, gotta squeeze everything I can out of her. Thanks Aaron and Randy for the killer deal on the SBC:thumbsup: Thanks to Brian and Jersey Mike for comin along to check things out with me, that was quite the treck. I'll keep you posted.

That was definitely a good score, and couldnt of come at a better time. Are you gona pull it all apart?

Personally I would pop the pan to check it out maybe pull a cap to look at the bearings, if it all looked good. I would just put the pan and intake back on and fire it up:yes:

That was a good looking setup:yes:

Great score James, looking forward to meeting you and checking out your car up close. The 355 should really wake things up:thumbsup:

Thanks guys, my buddy Brad at Nordic Hot Rods thinks a more agressive cam my be in order, should be able to cover that with the money I saved on the killer deal (it's all about the buget!) we'll see. Brian, as you said, we'll pull the pan and check things out ( I'm sure everything will be clean and good to go) then we'll call the specs into Quick Fuel and get the perfect carb set up for this puppy, still lots to do, hope to get all this done by season opener at the raceway (gotta hear some thunder and get my fix!):wacko: thoughts anyone.....
