Also, please tell me the other guy is going to give you some money, with your hardware your motor is worth much more. You could sell your stuff and build two motors just like the trade one you describe.

The 351 is coming out of a 98 GT concept car. My mechanic who is selling it for 14 grand says the motor has run in the high nines and has been totally rebuilt from the bottom up. I believe him about 90%. I know my parts are expensive and I've had the Coast High motor for about 18 months and it doesn't burn a drop of oil. He ia also guaranteeing the whole car for 6 months so I can expect to run the motor at the track with reasonable assurance that if something breaks, he'll fix it.

My mechanic is building an 8 second 99 Cobra with dual 750 Holleys instead of the prior set up of a mod motor with a Paxton Novi. He believes the carb setup with nitrous will be superior.

My 347 is only good up to 600hp with a cast steel crank. I know I'm taking a bit of a chance but the damn 347 only dyno's at 300 rear wheel hp anyway so I'm thinking the carb motor has to be more out of the box. I also have a AOD with a 2500 stall converter. Is that rpm ok with the 350?

Thanks in advance
