91-92 firehawk engine specs?

Hi,
Does anyone know where to find the engine build specs for a 3rd gen firehawk? I want to duplicate the engine in my camaro. I understand they had one that made close to 400 lbs torque to the ground and 300 plus hp. I need to know like what kind of heads and crank,pistons,cam,ect. Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Car: 89 formula and my late 86 iroc R.I.P girl
Engine: 89 firebird formula-305 tbi,86 iroc 305 tpi
Transmission: both 700r4
this is what ive read about the firehawk specs

when they where built the cars entire drive train was taken out. first the car was fitted with a 350 with 4 bolt mains, a forged steel crank, gen 2 cast pistions, ed pink racing rods and a roller cam. aluminum heads with 2 inch intake and 1.56 in exhaust valves. a downdraft port-injection manifold (works like a lt1 intake, i would go with holly's stealth ram set up) ive never seen any aftermarket intake close to the hawks. it had 11.5 in runners, 52 mill throttle body, dual cats, stainless steel headers, vette 6 speed, dana 44 rear axle , 3.54 rear gear. i think it also had a shortend input shaft and a 16lb fly wheel.

Until the mods were destroyed in a fire the "T-Ram" Intake could be bought through Summit Racing and other resells of SLP stuff. You can still find a few floating around out there still.

IMHO For the price there not worth it, around $2500 on the market. you can do better with some of the newer technologies. There is a good comparison article on the TPI board.

From the performance aspect, yeah, they aren't worth it. From the I want my car to look like a Firehawk/have a Firehawkish motor... well, then that is personal preference.
