We get the freak machines in here. This customer just bought this thing. Not much history on it. We know its been sitting in a showroom at a local used car lot. Supposedly it was seized by the feds a couple 3 years back. Maybe someone on here knows a lil somethin about it.
BTW, its a bowtie block of unknown size, alum heads, EFI, with a 4L80 trans, supposedly. 9 in ford rear. We will prolly dyno it for power after we're done with everything else. Enjoy!!

That is one clean car. Someone did a particularly nice job with the cage.

I'm not easily impressed, but that impresses me..........

I agree....the cage is sweet. But where does he store the top on the way to the mall?

Is it a sb2? the exhaust ports are separate runners. 18 degree heads?!? Nice clean setup and a direct port n2o to boot. Sounds like it could very well be an 8 second car you got there.

Big Block. SB2s dont have equally spaced exhaust ports. They do have equally spaced intake ports, and the exhaust center ports are moved a little farther apart, but not equally spaced. And yeah, with enough squeeze, it oughta run in the nines. The cam sounds pretty mild. Dont know how big the motor is, or the converter, or the gear. Alots of "ifs" on this one.

Obviously not one of the Virginia counties that require emissions!

Nice ride!

Thats what the throttle body says. I imagine the whole setup came from them. Just took it for a test drive. Shes got issues. Looks alot better than it runs. Sometimes I think I'm an exterminator. I get rid of bugs!!
