Thoughts on the 5300 Vortec in an SSR?

SSR


Yikes, you know I drive a lowwered 86' silverado and...


Vehicle type: front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, 2-passenger, 2-door truck
Estimated base price: $38,500
Engine type: pushrod 16-valve V-8, aluminum block and heads, GM engine-control system with port fuel injection
Displacement 325 cu in, 5328cc
Power (SAE net) 290 bhp @ 5200 rpm
Torque (SAE net) 325 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm
Transmission 4-speed automatic with lockup torque converter
Wheelbase 116.0 in
Length 191.6 in
Width 78.6 in
Height 63.8 in
Curb weight 4600 lb

C/D-estimated performance:
Zero to 60 mph 7.5 sec
Standing 1/4-mile 16.0 sec @ 90 mph
Top speed (governor limited) 125 mph
Projected fuel economy:
EPA city driving 14 mpg

The body styling looks good but, no more outrunning stangs all day in this thing.
