    Hey so im sorry i buggered off but i just got mad with the people calling my a liar. I have issues with that kind of thing so I want to give it another shot because this car is my life. But first I want to make a couple things clear.
    I AM NOT LIEING!
    i gave you the information i thought you wanted but let me put absolutely everything i know down here.
    The car has a 350 sbc that was bored out to 355. It is a full roller motor. It has edelbrock aluminum valve covers, edelbrock 4 barrel carb with an edelbrock air filter, it has wrapped headers back to the 3 inch chrome tips (not straight pipe as you saw in the vid), it uses an edelbrock efi fuel pump and regulator to supply gas to the carb. It has an aftermarket over sized rad and an all new wiring harness in it. the internals of the motor i do not know. its been camed you can tell. The bill i was given by the man i bought it from was $10,000 for the crate engine and all the parts (and when i say all i mean absolutely everything, timing, water pump and hoses, all the electrics which were heavily reworked, all the wiring, EVERYTHING) along with the misc labor that was done for stuff he couldn't do.
    THAT IS WHAT I KNOW. I cant get numbers because the motor barely fits in the engine bay of that car so there is no way to get the numbers to prove it was originally a 350. and i dont plan on ripping apart a motor to show proof to guys on the internet that don't believe me.
    now the reason it was a video of the exhaust sound is because you can hear that audible change when you get to the higher rpms and i wanted to know if that is alright in a car with that kind of motor. the reason i ask on here is because there is no one that i know that knows anything about cars that old, NO ONE. so i only know what i can look up and so far i have been fine but i couldn't find anything on this kind of problem.
    And to the people that says that because im 17 i can't afford this so it clearly makes no sense to how i could afford it. I flipped alot of sleds, chain saws, quads and dirt bikes over the years and saved up my money over the years because i knew what i wanted.
    If you don't believe after all that please just go away and bug someone else, im not trying to be better then anyone, im not trying to say im faster then anyone, im just trying to get an answer so i don't destroy my car because i love it and i will not be able to get another one for a loooooooooooooooooooong time if has a catastrophic breakdown.
    Now sorry for the rant. Its 1:30 in the morning and i have a bus to catch in 5 and a half hours.

    The question i had and is what i was wonder about is as i stated above is hat audible change you hear when you get to the higher rpms alright in a car with that kind of motor?
