Were not sure yet.. The customer bought a used freshened up pro-stock motor. The motor has been de-stroked from a 500 ci to a 468-470 ci built by Fast Times. The block is a Donovan block with Big Chief heads, 2 Dominator carbs, HRE sheet metal intake and a 5 stage dry sump. Thats as much as I know about the motor that im installing for the customer. If i was to guess the HP I would say around 1100 to 1200 NA. The customer Plans to have the motor set up on a engine dyno shortly for tuning so I guess time will tell

considering its a full fiberglass 1-pc front end, non-stock front suspension (struts) and stock rear suspension...kind of an odd combo...the front suspension, lack of factory core support, and 1 pc front end won't really fit any class unless its MIR's real street, which accepts about anything with 4 wheels and an engine 
I hope it only weighs 2000lbs,that motor aint gonna make **** for tq,these guys buy these pro stock motor and see 1200-1400 hp,they dont realize they only work good in 2500lb cars with 5 speed trans,if that car weighs a 3000lbs or more,and has an auto,probably run mid 9's at best

got to look at the bright side though-it looks cool as hell,and will have a killer chassis and cage in it.Keep us posted Tyson,we need some more pics of your work-thats the real eye candy,nothing better that some beautiful welds.

Thanks Shawn.. I will get some cage pic's up shortly.. Yeah.. I believe the car is going to weigh around 2800-3000 and at the most 3200 with a driver. W/O the motor and trans the car weighed 1750 as a rolling bare bone chassis. I have been making alot of changes through the duration of this project ask Brian he will tell you..
