GT aluminum block? KB? (Whats the newest 2.6, 2.8) Bored block? Stroked? Compression ratio? What are you hoping to see Hp wise out of the truck?

Ive got so many questions Im just getting started.

GT Block darton sleeves 3.7 bore, 2.8KB,stroked 4.416,Ford GT heads JLP Treatment, If and when we ever turn it up i would guess around 1,200 hp!..JL

Hey Johnny! I got to hear the bad boy fire up while I was talking to Sue...I have never heard my phone distort like that before

Keep us updated!!!

Is that the transmission dipstick by where the battery tray used to sit? What type of steering setup is on the truck, I tried an alternator mount similar to the GT500's on my truck and it hit the steering shaft.

god that inlet looks so much better then the one for the whipples

JohnnyLightning · 02-27-2009, 09:54 PM

We had a Great day today on the dyno.The Engine ran PERECT!..the down side tho was the converter is way tooooo loose!..We'll have to try and get the right converter set-up from neil chance next tuesday.in time for the NMRA race in fla. Even with the converter flashing to the moon.We still put down close to 700 rwhp! @ 11# of boost @ 15* Timing!..This Thing with the right converter and 25# boost @ 21* Timing will just be INSANE!!!!!!!!
