I put this in with a few other items. Got in on their last sale for $3995 and added about $2000k in other items, including a fresh th350 for a complete drivetrain redo...http://www.jegs.com/i/Blueprint+Engi...0CTC1/10002/-1

405hp and 441ft-lbs on the engine dyno it shipped with. The lowest ft-lb reading is 358 at 1800rpm...I am still breaking it in but at 3500 the tires start to break loose and it's making 406ft-lbs and 271hp then. I am still working on tuning the carb as it is running rich and is a gas hog - but in time it should be at 10mpg easily. My uncle gets 14mpg with his 383(similar cam/heads/carb) running a 12% lean setup per the edelbrock map, so I am about to try that and see what my wideband a/f gauge says...It sure looks pretty!
