Default New Motor For the IMP

Finally got the motor back for the Imp. Just thought I would share a few photo's of the fun. We will see how she does at the track.
Here are some specs:
.40 over LT1
Mahle flatop forged pistons and rings
Completely rebuilt LE2 heads with Patriot gold springs .650 lift
GM 847 cam
Clevite H series bearings
Cloyes double roller timing set
Eagle 5.7 SIR rods
Eagle 3.48 stroke cast crank
CC 1.6 Pro Mags
CC high tech pushrods
LT1 oil pump with high pressure spring
Meziere electric water pump
BBK 58 MM throttle body.

I am sure I am missing something. But hoping for 11's N/A @ 4000 plus LBS. We will see.[IMG][IMG][/IMG][/IMG]

Hey looks good. Nice to see another b-body around here. Looks like we're going the similar route for our cars, just different parts. Just need a tranny/stall, injectors, and fuel pump. Keep us updated on how you run.

Good luck with the crank. I would have kept the stock one.
