Another shot of the vortecs.  The cam I pulled out is a Crane 260H10  which was a single pattern cam with .427 lift, 204 duration at 0.050 on a 110 Lobe Separation.  It did pull hard out of the hole even with the stock cast iron intake but ran out of steam past 3200.

I love this air cleaner I got.  14 incher powdercoated in translucent black over chrome.  This pic does NOT do the air cleaner justice.  I'm debating a Turbo Fire 350/350hp decal. And I got the 14x4 Element off ebay with a few other things.

Right on man, I wish I was able to soup up my 82shortbed like yours!  I just got done putting edelbrock performer 2101 intake, and a edelbrock carb on my new motor.  One day I'll get enough $ to build up my 400 sb!

How long did it take you to pull the motor/trans?
Painted intake looks smooth...

We had that motor out in about 2½ hours, would have been quicker if the motor had been cool.  The motor should be together tomorrow night, I cleaned my firewall, fenders, and basically anything left after we took the motor out with oven cleaner, now i'm gonna flat black all under the hood tomorrow as well as paint the motor

Great progress! I hope your motor gets a sizeable increase in power. I was glad, nervous, anxious and relieved after I had the cam and heads done in my truck. It's a major upgrade!

Pic doesn't do this justice IMO.  The flat black is such an improvement over the gloss black that was covering my fenderwells and firewall.
