Sounds great! Always a good feeling when you turn the key and start it after the work of putting it in!!
 
Nothing like starting the fresh engine for the first time!! :cheers: :burnout:

Unfortunately I have no idea what the cam is I bought the motor as is. The guy I bought it from bought it from a Nother guy and he was told it only had about 1000 miles on it he has no clue on the specifications of the motor either. It came with a new gasket set so I pulled it all apart just to look at the inside and see what it look like and it was all new parts and clean as a whistle. So while it sucks that I don't know anything about the motor really the guy was upfront and honest with me about the fact that he didn't know anything about it either I'm a guy that built and owned it does not live around here anymore and it sounds like it might've come out of a 74 charger

So for now I'm happy with the fact that it of these runs and sounds good and it does have all new parts in it so I'm sure that it is not too awfully old.

I bought the exhaust from a guy on here from the headers to the tailpipes minus the mufflers because I did not want them. I bought the exhaust for my guy on here from the headers to the tailpipes minus the mufflers because I did not want them. I should have got the markers from him too but did not because I like flow masters and wanted to run them but project money got low and could not afford to buy any right away. So it's got headers to an app inch pipe all the way to the back in the mufflers are the cheap 30 or $40 apiece thrush oval mufflers from AutoZone
 
So I guess I should have said kind of new motor in and running lol.
