Looks nice. I have to ask... but isn't that almost a Ford blue?

Just kidding around man, it does look good. What are the numbers on the heads, cam, etc? What kinda power are you hoping for? Looks great, I bet your excited to fire it up.

LG4 305
-Crane Cams XtremeEnergy Cam XE256H-12
-Edlebrock Performer Airgap Intake
-Summit 1.5 Roller Rockers
-Holley Reman. Q-Jet
-New lifters
-Heads machined (not sure of head numbers. Machine shop did the works to them though, new stainless springs good to 650 lift, ground valves and cleaned ported valve ports, this shop was setup to do race car heads when I dropped mine off so thats what they got. Shop guy said I should be around 9 to 1 compression)
-Edelbrock Headers
-High volume oil pump
-High Flow Carter Fuel Pump
-Some chrome stuff
-Engine cleaned and painted Old Ford Blue

Not sure what kind of power I would be getting out of it, maybe some one would be able to give me a ball park. Thanks for looking guys!!

What are the specs on that cam? I just bought 86SCBNJ's '86 Sport Coupe thats got a mild Lg4 build. Its a crate motor, stock heads as far as I know, mild cam (204/214 with .423/.442) ZZ intake, CC-Qjet, SLP headers, and a 3" cat and exhaust. It dynoed 170hp to the wheels a couple of years ago, which is like 205hp, and its all emmisions legal. I dunno what the specs are on the XE256H-12, but I'm sure its more than the cam in my car, I'd say you could easily bet on 240 crank hp. Keep us posted, I'd love to know how it does.

Mine's a good base, I'm probably going to go with some better or ported heads, and maybe some more cam to get the power up past 260hp, and then spray it. Its already got a shift kit, 2500rpm stall, and 3.73 posi rear, so it just needs a little more power.
