Thanks! Yeah when it had the SBC and the 700r4 in it, it weighed right at 3900 pounds.

For now I think I'm just gonna run some long bars and a sway bar in the rear and stock up front and I'll see what that does.

At 3900 it'll do much better than 11.99 in the 1/4 on the kit, especially with a th350.

Problem is the TH350 still has the full auto valvebody, so its only designed to take about 550-600 fwhp... So IDK if it'll even take a 75shot... But Ima try anyways! LOL

I loved that 350....

It took around 8psi on my pile before spinning the input shaft out of the drum.

Spray the shizit outta that thing man, TH350's are el cheapo parts wise anyhow.

LOL, Im sure I will!

I got my cam in today, I installed it along with the new lifter trays (one of them was loose on the bolt so I figured I'd replace them all). I've got the bottom end all bottoned up and ready to go, either friday or this weekend I'll have the top end done and I'll bolt it up to the trans, then wait for my engine mounts to get here so I can start test fitting it!

Nice cam specs you picked out.

That might be the dirtiest LS I've ever seen, lol.
