Why not go a little further? Who needs an intake, distributor, carb, valve covers, heads, cam, timing chain, accessories, and a harmonic balancer?

I can't wait to pop the heads off, and get the trick flows on there. Too bad i can't order them until next Friday
owell, the car has no weatherstripping right now anyhow, so it's not like it can come out of the garage...

lets hope so. DD 2000 is saying 406 fwhp, with a torque curve that hits 400, and doesn't fall back under 400 until 5500 rpms. i know it's not completely accurate, but it at least gives me an idea. I'm still trying to figure how i'm gonna get traction with this thing.....
Anybody wanna take bets on how long the t-5 will hold up once this thing is running? I was gonna get a spohn torque arm to take a little stress off it, but when it does go i'm getting a tremec t-56, and the two arms are different. i don't really wanna buy 2 of them....

oh i know i'll be taking it easy on it. Good news is i just found a place i can get a working T-5 at for $100 ( it was in a friends old car that got totalled, so i know it works). So at least i've got a back up until the t-56 goes in...
