Pulled the engine out of my wrecked 84 Bird a couple weeks ago. It's a 300hp 350 gm performance crate (same short block and cam as the vortech 330hp 350).

Here's a couple pics of what the 84 looks like now







If you don't remember what it used to look like check out this thread

well damn.... what a great lookin motor you've got.





are your grille inserts in good shape? would you be willing to sell them if they are? I need both.

(sorry for the shameless plug).

Frank 84 Bird

I sure hope it runs as good as it looks. I still have to pull the motor and tranny out of my 87 T/A. But first I have to do valve seals on a 93 Formula with the LT1. I'm looking forward to that .

I'll check them out tonight and let you know.

may i ask how did you get all the paint off the block?

flyitlikustolit

i had my block cleaned. it'll look new when you get it back, i promise.

Frank 84 Bird

I painted over the old paint. I was still in decent shape just dirty. I just used brake clean to clean the block before painting it.

I checked out the grill inserts and there both cracked.
