True...... but what it isnt is a $6500 C5R or high dollar sleeved block. The little article on the factory 469 hp northstar for the new Caddy makes me proud to be a lifelong GM gearhead also.

Well...W2W's 352cid motor is old news around here. Search for posts started by Kevin@W2W (i think that's it) and "427" 427 = Kurt Urban from the article. You'll find pictures and threads about the installs, track dates, the record, and an engine dyno or two. Cool stuff...but remember...as Matt King said...ls1tech.com had it first!

I saw the Northstart blurb. Cool stuff for sure.


Any more progress on your vette?

Pretty much a tube chassis, but casper did start out as a real camaro (it has a vin and everything). W2W is building two cars with 4-links AND stock suspension points (convert back and forth) so we'll see what they have shortly. Both should have plenty of hp. Check their site.

The 2 cars we are building have both been modified for 4 link only. It makes the cars lighter and more likely to compete in local races. They will have some pony's to back them up!!
