Sure

75mm T-body
Victor 5.0 Intake
AFR 185's #1420 heads (Crane 1.6 SBC rockers - was gonna get Canfields and at the time the instructions listed crane sbc 1.6 rockers as the development rocker, but there are no alignment or geometry problems)
10.5:1 comp
Comp Cams Nitrous HP (232/244 duration @ .050 - .565/.580 lift - 114 LSA), retarded 2 degrees
1-3/4 Hooker Long-Tubes, 3" Dr Gas-X, 3" Bullet Mufflers w/turndowns
36 lbs/hr injectors w/77mm Pro-M

Victor 5.0 Water Pump
March U/D pullies and brackets (sans A/C, AIR, P/S)

Heads port-matched to intake (for some reason these heads had oval intake ports??), no other head mod.

Milodon pan w/motorsport oil pump.

est. HP:460 est. TQ:440 (fingers crossed and hoping for more!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The car its going in is a 91 LX thats had a sex change from DOA to manual. Currently it is fitted with the stock A4 computer w/the old SVO piggyback extender. I figure though this motor is enough of a departure from stock to justify a new brain or something a bit more extensive than what the extender provides.

Fuel System is Aeromotive from the tank to the rails

Tranny is a T-5 soon to be sent to G-Force for an upgrade and the car has an 8.8 fitted with 4.10 gears.

Rear suspension is SS lift bars with tubular uppers.

Front suspension is tubular up front with manual brakes, manual rack, and QA1 aluminum struts and shocks, no rear seat, aluminum front seats, Fiberglass cowl hood, Fiberglass rear deck with lexan backlight, along with old school Saleen wing (all in the interest of stealth you know )

Car is still pretty roughj and I've got a few odds and ends to tie up with the chassis and the brakes as well as body work so I projecting next spring for having it ready to run.


As a DOA car it ran a best of 14.5, but I'm hoping this baby will crack the 13's

That would look nice in the Saleen engine bay.

I like the AFR heads. They're the only way to go IMO.

really??, I thought most of the intakes for fuelie 5.0's fit under the the foxbody hood. I know the vic 5.0 won't fit under the SN95 hood.
Like you said, no biggie with all those hooods out there.

choices, choices

yeah, i figured that too. but a friend of mine had to get a hood with a 2 inch cowl to keep the intake from rubbing the hood liner. the holley is very tall.
