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 ******, 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 ****** 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.
