My Rocket 350 by Eric Flack in Kansas City

I just received pictures of my engine that is being freshened up by Eric Flack in North Kansas City. He isn't near where I live but he came recommended by a forum member and Eric has owned five Cutlasses himself. The 350 that has 80,000 adult driven miles is getting freshly worked #5 heads, Edelbrock Performer Camshaft and Manifold, as well as a quadrajet restored by Bob Stone at Classic Carbs. I'm getting very good quality work from Eric at a fair price. Exactly what I was looking for! - Steven

thats pretty sweet, are you getting a rering or rebuild or just cleaning up and adding a few components I just put a performer intake on my 350 when I did the timing chain runs good

I'll post more pictures once it's all together. It's getting HEI ignition too and I'm expecting at least a modest performance improvement from the mix of upgrades.

I dig the "not one single number matching" line by "don71".
My Dad owns a 36 Ford 3-Window Coup that is a restored near perfect original (Even mechanical brakes). I wouldn't change that car because it is so rare and especially 100% original, but I'd ******-up a 455 for my Cutlass without a second thought!

This engine ran great before the upgrades so I think I'll be satisfied with all the improvements. I need a good chrome air-cleaner that fits well if anyone has one to sell. I'd also consider a good stock q-jet air-cleaner if it's a reasonable price. Please let me know if you have one you're not needing. :0
