A car, LOL. It's ready to roll. It's 99% complete. Other than a car setup to accept it, you only really need a set of headers. The heads were port matched to Hooker 1 3/4 cuper comp headers (see specs listed), which were what were reccomended by Holley Tech.
You need a car with a T-350 transmission, a fuel system and ignition system. And a Harmonic Balancer pulley if you you're gonna run belts. If it's going in a race car with no P/S or alternator and then abviously you don't need pulleys. If you are running a different tranny, then you need a different flex plate and converter than what I got for it.
Since it's been sitting for a while I'd pull the top part off, re-lube it and replace gaskets, put it back together and fire it up.
But if you got a car set-up for small block chevy with a T-350 tranny built to withstand this kind of motor, all you got to do is service it, strap it in and fire it up.
Based off of computer dyno's at the time I built it it's estimated to make at the very least 400hp. Based off of other similar builds I've seen it's probably close to 500hp. Replacing the heads with a set of Darts or better heads will no doubt add about another 80-100hp. Fuelie heads were good and after porting and being worked like I had them done, even better, but no where near what aftermarket heads these days are like. I only did the fuelies becuase they were free and I got charged next to nothing to get them worked.
