Thanks yeah i saw it was a forged 347 with an F1A and i believe it's running around 18 lbs on C16 right?? THought it had a th-400 but yea from the sound it seems to have a glide now. I was just more curious about what all was in the engine, intake/tb?? What size cam or heads are on it??

BTW i love that picture, it's sooo badasss.

Badass car! I figured it was a track intended setup with the power glide... Should be consistent!

Still an LS1/LS6 block as far as I know, factory heads (243 castings ported by Cartek I believe) and an LS1 intake manifold (I thought it was an LS6 manifold but I saw Sonnie once post that it was actually an LS1?) and a factory 75-78mm throttle body (I assume ported/polished).
Not sure of the cam size but I'm sure it's Cartek's standard hydraulic blower cam.
All things considered it's a pretty basic motor, nothing too exotic.

I was running a th400 with the IRS but once i changed over to a tq arm I went with a glide up front.. Im running about 18-19lbs.
