Texan in California!

Hello everyone. I am Adrian, and I'm originally from Texas but the military brought me to California. I bought a 1981 Corvette C3 about 9 months ago. I drove it for roughly two months with the replacement 350CI motor in it, but it felt way too weak and had plenty of issues. I'm in the process of having another 350CI motor built for it with a few performance goodies on it. I'm hoping for roughly 350 HP and 400 ftlbs of torqe out of it. I'm on here to learn more about this car and how to put it together the right way. This is my first build so I can use all the help I can.
