It's almost time for me to transform my "Red" into "Red Venom".

I'm gonna take out the tired old block with 185,000 miles and drop in a 351 bored out 60 over. I will build the 362 on a stand of course and then pull out the old block and drop in the new one.

These are the parts I have acquired so far...

362 block
AFR 185's
GT-40 tubular intake
351 GT-40 Lower
30 lb injectors
1.6 Roller Rockers
BBK 1 3/4 long tube headers
28 oz Flywheel
Drop Mounts
351 distributor
351 oil pan kit
351 girdle
28 oz Balancer
Crank pulley spacer
a/c-steering bracket
steel distributor gear
oil pump drive shaft
190 lph fuel pump Walbro

About all I'm lacking for the build is the oil pump, the cam(need to send the engine specs to Ed Curtis), new pushrods(I don't think the old ones will work even though they are less than a year old), the 30 lb MAF sample tube and the gaskets. I think I will pick up a windage tray also while the engine is pulled apart.

I know I will be having to upgrade the MAF and TB, as well as the tranny and axles. Give me time...this has been pretty expensive.

I do have a few questions...

1. Am I forgetting anything that I will need?

2. Should I switch back to 3:08's or stick with the 3.73's?

3. What kind of HP would something like this put out?
