He blew up some LS3s, so now he wants to blow up some Coyote motors and then swap in a Dodge 392 in a few years.

You'll blow the Coyote up just like you did the LS3's.

BBC=BigBlockChevy....and add an F1 (or bigger ?)
Buddy has a 65 ? ChevyII with a BBC and Vortec YSI....lifts the wheels every shift (4 speed) at the track. (I know it weighs next to nothing Vs. a Gen5 ) Low 9's with issues.
