Engine details:The short block has forged pistons and 4 bolt mains. The person I bought it from said that a car was built with this fresh motor but the owner decided to up the power by switching to a 455 so this short block became available and I bought it and verified the internals. I had no idea what cam was in it I just replaced it with the RA III which is a good fit for a 3.23 Firebird with a stock stall speed torque converter. The car was originally a 350 and had a blown bottom end with fresh 6x heads on it so I know they were perfect for the 400 and swapped them.
