Not really. Unless he's done more work to it, but years ago the car ran 14.8 in the 1/4 mile, kinda disappointing IMO

jackpot nail o nthe head right there.......that motor blows in my opinion... 5.7 250 hp  300+ torque is ok though, but its one of those motors that just had its time and that time has passed, i compare it to fords 5.0 that had 200 hp meh i guess

I wonder what kind of suspension setup he has...looks like the frame's suspension is too narrow for the Alero's body. The wheels are so far in but it looks like he didn't cut into the wheel wells. It would be awsome to see some pics from during its build.
.

.
do you think his windshield washer system works?

I guess the guy thought the motor would have been enough to make the car faster, or he just got a really cheap motor and didn't know any better.
Had to have been rebuilt, probably a stock rebuild. Beefy motor for 1984, but it's not 1984 anymore

The iroc z camaro had a 305 and a 350 both with the tune port injection. I think GM used that intake on a number of motors.

Hah, your memory must be failing you.. A '84 C4 would look like this...
The picture Oldsnut posted is a 86-89 C4. The engine in the other picture [C2] posted is a '85 *or* some other conglomeration of small-block parts.

It can be adequate if it works right. It was made from 82-84 and was available in Corvettes and F-Bodies. It was a dual 2-barrel TBI setup.

Rip the motor out and drop in a 383 small block (350 bored .030 over with crank and rods from 400). You can get 400+ hp/torque set-ups for less than $5K.
