I got the new 350 CID / 350 HP (brandly new from GM)installed in the '59 and fired it up for the first time last night. The 340 stroker I had in there let loose going into the Dream Car Weekend Show over at Disney World Labor Day weekend (only 12 miles on it!). We'll salavage some of the 340 for the next project. The moral I learned is never to trust someone elses engine work without going over everything checking torque specs.
