So 388 from a 3.622 crank and a 4.125 bore? With Mast black label 305's it must be. Nice numbers, great build!

Its actually a 3.625 crank which doesn't really make any difference. Yes 4.125 Piston with Black Label 305 w/ Titanium Intake Valve.

I actually picked up the car as a Theft Recovery in 2012 for 16K missing the Motor and Nav. Believe it or not, I have under 40K total invested in the car putting down 1000rwhp all summer long without one failure.

My tuner Wade @ Maximum Performance actually did the same thing in 10.5 this year with their SBC 4xx CI beating up on all the big cube boys this season. 4.14 to the 1/8th @ upward of 197mph. He went down to vegas and ran 6.20 @ 220 off the throttle @ 1000'

Not bad at all!
I'd love to find an engine-less C6 for that price!

That is the 6060. I actually liked how the T56 shifted and was geared.

I actually just picked up an 07 Convertable theft recovery for 9K earlier this year. It was missing the motor and some interior pieces. Look how this turned out :
