    mild 350 build

    I wasn't including the exhaust in the price. After doing a bit more research I realize it will cost more than I had planned. I'm completely fine with that. Also I'm dating the exhaust mans neice so I might get a decent discount haha. He usually charges around $200 and does a damn good job.

    best transmission for a 350?

    I'm looking about having a guy build me a 350. I'm wanting it to put out about 400hp which is plenty for me.
