The engine was bought from Quality engine exchange here in Austin for $1,050.00 with a full rebuild (no core refund) . I know its a 80-85 passenger side dipstick 2 piece main seal.

Its to be powered by a Jet "Street master" stage 2, i was tempted with a shiny Holley however im going to stick with reliable boring Quadrajet.
The transmission will be a new TCI "sizzler" with trans cooler non lock-up , i wanted a higher stall rate on my TC however have to settle w/ a 1700 only because it comes in a kit.
Of course wanted all the best MSD has to offer however due to recession had to settle on a MSD HEI w/ vacuum adv. Things can be upgraded in the future i guess..

rock on..

Sounds good. Button it up to keep the dust out of it. You'll be glad you did down the road.
