Unfortunately don't have alot of details about the car since the current owner bought it like it is and didnt get all the specs on everything. He was told the heads and cam were from lmr but thats about all he knew.
Its a 2001 TA with a 408, AFR heads, fast intake, six speed, & 12 bolt. Thats all we could tell from looking the car over. Dont know the brand of headers, injectors, etc..

If I had more info about the 408 I would but even the current owner doesnt know whats all done to the motor since he bought the car used. It has AFR heads and a FAST intake, and is a iron 6.0 block. Thats about all we know from sure by looking at the engine. It could be a budget 408 or a $20k 408, no one knows, lol.
