5.3 with arp head bolts, pushrods, and valvesprings. Here is a engine bay pic, I dont have the slip beside me to post exact numbers. Congrats on getting the car back together and the record.

Nope, not my thing.
I am sure he will go faster on his next few passes as well. The reality is he is racing at 650 lbs less then me and my car has also been to the track only a few times. I like challenges and if I do manage to run similar times or beat his time at 650 lbs less.![EEK !!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_eek2.gif)

We are doing this with a STOCK shortblock, automagic has a built 408 so can't use his.

haha I thought about loaning out my backup forged 347 but I think i'm gonna let it sit in the basement in hibernation hopefully I won't need it for a longgg time....but **** he doesn't need it lol. Them junkyard motors do just fine in a lighter car. Its just ridiculous a stock bottom end motor out of an SUV, truck whatever can go 8's with a cam and valve springs whether its in a mustang, rx7 anything

Lol no way you're serious, why in the world would he be jealous? A 3250lb car on DR's running a few hundredths(for now) from a 2600lb tube chassis big tire car.
No disrespect towards skinnies, the car is awesome and I know it will be quicker soon, I just thought that comment was hilarious.

well that rx7 has alot more left in it forsure. I am sure it will atleast go 9.50to 9.40 cranked up with the 76mm. All this stock cam talk makes me wonder about using the stock l33 cam. I cant find the specs on it.
