Looks like the blown 347 might not be blown anymore.

damn you shoulda put a carb on it. It would be so much faster and easier. I picked up almost 3 tenths when I swapped to a carb. What did you have to give up for the shortblock and parts?
I thought about carbing it. Cheaper and simple for sure, but I didn't want to go through all the trouble of tearing the EFI out of the car. Plus I like to drive it on the street sometimes, and I like for it to fire right up, which I don't think would be the case with a carb

And I think the box manifold is SICKKK!

only problem is that it will only fit under a 5" cowl hood. Which isn't that big of a problem because I want a big ass cowl anyway :p

Made a deal on a TCI c4 with 4 passes on it. Along with a precision performance products shifter and a frpp aluminum driveshaft. Turns out this trans was in orange395w's boss many moons ago. Haha. Now if I could move some parts to pay for it lol

Looking forward to seeing this car come together with the new motor. Just curious does the car have a cage already?
Yessir just a 6 point. I'm looking for mid 10s with it so the cage will be fine. It's been tested once already too lol

That's not a cage. that's a roll bar haha. You will meet your goal. My old set up ran 10.20's-10.30's.
Details details. Lol. No really I have no desire to put a full cage in it. It's not often, but this will be street driven from time to time. Gotta make Hondas cry sometimes ya know? :D

Update:

347 is out, got a guy coming tomorrow to hopefully buy it. Going to start all the prep work on the engine bay, complete wire tuck, paint etc. also considering smooth fender panels.

Car definitely won't be done for a good while, but no shortcuts this time. It's going to be exactly how I want it, no matter how long it takes
