Came out of a TA. I have yet to pull the pan to see if the mains were splayed or if they are stock. I have a lot of parts swapping to do when I swing it.

What, you're giving up on that 200,000 mile engine of yours?

Are you staying with the automatic tranny?

Actually it still runs great and uses no oil, but at 225,000 I am not sure how many more track days it can take.

Yep, staying with the 4L60E, mostly due to bad knees.

Jason - not sure when I will get it installed, might be a little while. I had a really nice set of SW longtubes and sold them (dumb me), so next is finding a set of headers.

That's unreal, goes to show what these engines can do if maintained correctly.


425 horse should get you down the track a little quicker. Any idea what the torque output is?

When I get it all done and tuned I will let you know all the figures. But it is sure to get me down the track a good bit quicker.
