nope

i have my parts list and what needs to be done. going to have moritz get me a 460 with sufficiently thick walls to be bored to 4.440

new horsepower estimate with race ported p-51 heads is 750 hp when not on the bottle.

as soon as i get the car im going to start the engine build. i need the vehicle weight before i start the engine build. gotta have everything before i start throwing parts together. going to use a custom ground cam.


can't bloody wait

cool deal i ended up with a big ol nasty comp cam like .780 lift in mine. i also set it up for nitrous on the build had the first ring grove lowered to keep the heat off it and put hellfire nos rings in but so far i dont believe i want anymore lol! i think the 69 is gonna run 8.90;s @ +-150. thats gonna be a handfull plus its great to talk shit to the bow tie boys about my all N/A BBF.

hell yes. really i think 750 will keep me occupied just fine, should put me into the 9s and id be happy there. im going to be running a 5 speed manual tranny with 3.90's or 4:11's going to be a handfull shifting with 750 hp i think.

i got to dyno the gt500 last week made 708 its not bad at all shifting but its going to be tuff to get a shifter set up as nice as what comes in these new cars
