If I could have stole a cherry 5.7 longblock for $650 to my door then i would have thought different

thats why i'm keeping it if i sold it then i'd never find that again i think it was an accedent that i found it couse if you do a search on ebay the thing wouldn't pop up but a guy from here bought a eng from the guy and he posted the sellers number thing up here and i did a search on that and thats how i found it no one bid on it so i guess the guy didn't set up the search critieria up correctly.

Thanks guys. Well we have it partly tuned right now. It runs pretty damn good. The only thing that is wrong with it right now is because right before it shifts its at 28 degrees of timing, and when it shifts to 2nd, it drops down to 6 degrees!! So it falls on its face, but picks back up very quick. After that is tuned out, it should be pretty damn good. I raced a buddy that has a V-6 Firebird that runs low 13's on motor, and on a romp I beat him by a little more than a car length! The swap was as easy as changing oil. My buddy had no troubles what so ever with the swap. EVERYTHING bolted up perfect. As soon as I sell my engine and wheels, I'm getting LT's, off-road Y, cam, and 3200 stall.
