Well I ordered a B50 based 327, with forged crank, rods, pistons, ARP rod bolts, ARP main studs, and a girdle, and a high volume oil pump today. My stock 70k mile motor wasn't as bad as I expected, 2 blown HGs because of the friggin T-Rex that I should have never used. My A/F was tuned to 11.7-1, but the faulty T-rex must have made it go lean, even with a 255 pushing through it. Oh well, I'm trashing it and just running the 255, and I'm going to put my 2.95 pulley on the head unit too. When I had it tuned in April, it put 389/403 to the tires at 5k rpm and 10psi (spark blowout), and I haven't taken it back since the 6al was installed. What do you think the new motor with alittle more boost will put down? Same oldschool E-cam and 1.7s on the iron gt-40s with cobra intake 42s and pro-m 80 headers offroad pipes etc. BTW I have been on this board under my real name for too long, and I started a new account with the screen name I use on all the other boards, so don't treat me like a newb. Later -Rob
