I believe its a 370 cu iron block, LS6 ported and polished heads, the Nosszle d.p. was not on at the time of the pics but it will be jetted over 300, turbo 350 and the car is extremely light. Its basically a shell around the cage.

Nice!

Pretty much what I was hoping for with mine on spray - stock internal though. Ran 7.0's on motor with a tight TC and tall tire @ 2500 lbs w/out driver. Sold it before I ever ran it on nitrous.

If I'm not mistaken they are Macs. This was built on a budget with parts we had laying around. 300 shot is up next. Didn't know if the car would come up without wheelie bars thats why he didn't have the big pills in. With the travel limiters and suspension adjusted the cars is coming up about 4 inches on a 1.35 sixty foot.

The exhaust port spacing is the same between the Windsor & LSx cylinder heads. So, you can just cut the flange off a standard Ford header and weld on a LSx flange.
