Repair Options  Rip Offs

  This week my good friend & associate Paul & I will be assembling and installing a fresh 350 -  new in the crate direct from Chevrolet, after a short stop at machine shop for  an RV cam & roller rocker arms.

This was like Chevy/GMC are like.  About 2 hours for Paul & I to pull the engine and Trans.  Just keep in mind that Paul and I do this for a living, so it'll probably take someone not skilled more than 4-6 hours.  More later.......

Paul's 350 400plus horse power, roller rockers, RV cam, Edelbrock intake & carb, hi-performance distributor: $5000+.  Mesh braded hoses, all new everything!!! Now this is the fun way to turn wrenches....

We do have our advisors: They keep an eye on us.

Now it's in and running.  Paul likes the new sound.  Very impressive. Check it out...

But now some change have been made.  The carburetor  been replaced with electronic fuel injection.  Paul said it increased both performance and fuel economy.  Here's what it looks like:

 And    new paint, factory color match  and bed-liner
