The little b... turns 40 today! Fresh 400 hp, rebuild, just awaiting the crank of the key today. Already at the Shop and the start of Thursday to now, all day and late into the night, might just payoff!

Sent it out to a well-known, good rep among the race guys, engine builder. Got a 0.30 over, kept the aluminum L98 heads, with some unshrouding done around the inside of the intake , blue printed and balanced assemblies. Custom grind of the cam to the build. 280 duration, 0.480 lift, 110 degree LSA. The whole combination was worked specifically for a stick.

PS, went late 80's serpentine belt set up as well. And dual electric fans along with the aluminum radiator I already have.
