Looks great!

Is that a ZZ502? Did you do any engine work to get it to rev into the RPM range the 4.56's will like?

Hello Jim,

yes, it's a stock ZZ502. I have some plans to do something with the cam, and I have a tremek 600 5-speed, 0,64 overdrive.
I love this setup on the street, but I will put in 3,36-gears.

Trond
