    Ok it is a stock 351 block 60 over with scat crank and hbeam rods with JE SRP forged pistons! Solid flat tappet cam capable of 7500 rpm. C4 with transbrake chip at 4000 launch shifting at 7000 and going through at 6800!
    Nine inch shortened and tubbed to run 29.5W mickeys with 4.33 gears. Air pressure was at 12.5 pounds to hook it to 1.35 sixty foot time...so far 7 runs on the car!
