Nice.  Don't drop it for god sake.

Some friendly advise if I may.  Take the rotor button off of the dissy and place a plastic bag over the dissy and the carbie while dropping the engine in.

Good luck, the engine looks terrific.
:fantastic:
I'm surprised you can fit it complete....you'd never get a fully assembled engine like that into a Firebird.

no dyno results yet

should have 320 - 330 hp at the rear wheels any more would be a bonus

You'll have plenty of fun with that Chris, mine's got 315 rwhp and it's quite "adequate".

Best wishes with the ride.
