Default why i have been so quite lately :) pics and videos inside!

so my uncle and i found a 69 camaro in uconn country last year and he fell in love! my uncle stopped the car knocked on the door and offered him $4000 the guy said deal and we towed it home. My uncle is not very mechanical but he loved this car. So he took it to the shop and they did everything to it. i dont have the old pictures but know it was a good solid car but needed some work. So he said he didnt want to make it a matching numbers car because it was a 327. and he wanted a bigger motor so he went to a machine shop in NYC and they had a freshly built 355 and he bought it. he got the car home in sept and i helped him get the motor and trans in. we took it to a dyno day and we almost cried when we saw 172hp 213 tq. we knew we had something wrong because they guy at the machine shop told us it was a 350hp to the flywheel motor. So we went home and we said ok lets start over lets figure out what we did wrong. so we got tired of it because we couldnt figure out why it had no real power. like it had no get up and go. so we took it to a pro today
