Finally pulled the motor The Red Rocket is starting to get done.Sold the old motor complete.Next plan is to clean up the engine bay and have it painted.Then the motor will go in.
Motor so far is a 427ci C5R block with Dragonslayer crank,Compstar rods and Wiesco pistons. All built by Shawn at Virginia Speed. The top end is a set of ETP 225 heads which Rich at WCCH has been working on for a few months.They got 2.125" intake valves and 1.57" exhaust.From what I've heard they are about 230-235cc not and flow 360-370cfm at just under .650lift which is better than what they were.Compression will be 11.8-1,Cam is a custom near 250 duration and the intake so far will be a Edelbrok Victor Junior(ported) with an Intake Elbow at 102mm.
Tranny-I'm planning to send my level 5 FLT tranny back to get hardened shafts and a look over,the converter is going to Yank to have it tightened up(now SS4000).
The fuel system will get a new intank pump,hot wire kit and 60lb injectors.
So,thats my plan that everybody keeps asking for. The car is still planned to be my daily driver like it always has been.The goal is to hit ATCO this winter and get some stupidly fast timeslip and hopefully just detune it to run the 10.5 class next year.(don't want a 10 point in my DD car)

Awesome Don,
I knew you wouldn't be satisfied with an 11.5 car for long
. (Is this a brandy new block or are you touching up one lying around?)
Should be a pretty slick setup I wouldn't be surprised if you were running high 9's with it if you were pushing it. But having a super streetable 10.5 N/A car will be awesome. The specs on those heads look pretty damn sweet too. Keep us posted.
If intentions change with the Yank converter let me know!

I got the basic midwest 9 with short torque arm,LCA,PH and track bar.Stock shocks/springs and they are not getting touched.Car hooks easy 1.52's,even on 17" Nitto's. I might do a K-member to cut some weight.
Don't want this car to ride like a race car.Right now it's nice.

Do the k member and a arms. trust me. even if its not for weight reduction it makes the car run cool, easy to work on, easy to mess with headers, easy to do anything!! trust me on that, its one of the best mods in a car if you have the coin to do it. it doesnt do much for performance or what not, but a great mod.
my car has stock springs still so they wont hold you back
