The 89 RS 6.0 after 3 years
Well, still kicking strong, had some rubbing issues with the welds over LS1 rear brakes, so i did some more grinding after a couple studs broke. Back together i had some grinding, ended up being a piece of unused parking brake equipment came loose in the drum, so after i was done, took it for a shake down to see how it was doing. Rather it break on a empty road by myself than cruising to down town Houston and something possibly causing the car to be the first harmful event to a accident.
So, 3 years later, still stock long block with a Trex cam, spinning 7200 RPM.
Here is a video, last i had posted it had 1 chambers and now has bullet mufflers:

That was a boring video other then the amusing part about the optics making your head look tiny. Let us see the car next time.

Will be there since the situation is handled, just fixed it today and that was the shake down to make sure it was 100%.
