Great block at a great price.
This will be motor number 3 in the que. Probably for 2008 with a nice set of twins replacing the single front mount turbo.

Then we have pulled the C5R out of blue and having some technology upgrades like rings to max out the single front turbo. 402 has gone back into blue. We ran 9:33 with that motor.
LSX block build the third motor for Green.

Would love to get to the 8.50 index at whatever MPH it takes. A learning year for sure. A BIG assumption - Once I get comfortable with that - then decide if I want to go further. Nice part is the car is built for max safety and is legal to go further if the desire is there.
