So, I have some sad news. I ended up selling the roller to my engine builder. He wants to throw his setup into this car. He would be going from a 4400lb extended cab OBS to this 24-2500lb car all said and done. Should be nasty.
I started losing interest in the project and decided to just move on while I don't have a lot of money tied into it. I'll likely be keeping the engine to put into something else. Itching for something old school.
Don't think it's much of a surprise, LOL.

Its gonna stay all motor. I'm over the big power boost stuff. At least with this platform. It makes a little over 600whp already and has a good list of mods. Just changing a few things up to see if I can get a little more power out of it.
This is what it came with:
Ported MSD intake by JokerZ
Spiral ported stock throttle body
Vararam Air Intake
ID1050X Injectors
Walbro 525 Hellcat Fuel Pump
Meziere Billet Mechanical Water Pump
Prospeed Coolant Fans
Dewitt's Radiator (Not Installed)
JS Alternator 250amp
Henson Motor/Trans Mounts
Monster LT1-S Twin Disk Clutch with Lightened Flywheel
Mighty Mouse Race Catch Can
LME Ported Brodix BR7 Heads
Custom Camshaft
ATI Balancer
ARP Headstuds
Pfadt Tri-y Headers and Catted X Pipe
Akropovic Axle Back Exhaust
DSS Carbon Fiber Driveshaft
RPM Stage 4 Diff with 3.90 Gears
MGW Shifter and Race ****
New OEM Yellow Calipers
SS Brake Lines
Performance AFX 2-Piece Rotors (Front/Rear)
Katech TI Lugnuts
Bilstein Shocks
Ordered a 108mm TB
G1 Pro intake manifold (Gonna try this but will ultimately go with something else. It was cheap enough to mess with)
Larger headers
It has some valve train issues right now that I'm trying to solve. Way too much spring pressure for the lifters. Already ordered some BTR .685 springs to replace the PAC 1209x that are on the heads.
Eventually I do want to go solid roller and have the heads redone and milled some more.
