Sorry but thats no regular GTO from the pig farm. I have been working on weight reduction and with a few more things it will be around 3400lbs. And it's not a boat it's a Goat and now I sound like Dr. Suess.

The motor will be mild for now at around 600. It will have a direct port fast 90 spraying as much as I can get hooked up. After the SRA conversion I should be able to spray 4-500 progressive.

Thanks for the compliment also....You should see it with the Fats and skinniesTASTIC...!

is this a 408 motor or is it like a 454 with that lsx block??? a 500 shot would be crazy, youd better get some wheelie bars and a hell of a driveline.

It's a "LSX" 454 with a capitol X..! 408 iron blocks belong in trucks or on the end of a chain under a boat.

I only heard about it and the description alone was horrible. The only worse that could have happened would have been the driveshaft and trans coming through the bottom of the car and smackin you in the head.

Did the maker of the driveshaft compensate you at all? What was their explanation?

Without a doubt I don't know what exactly I'd say to them if they offered me another steaming pile of **** driveshaft.

When I do the SRA conversion I'll need a new driveshaft,so a custom unit is in the plan.
