It should be brick reliable and very civilized. If I don’t like the 525 HP, I can yank it out and drive over to Brian Thompson’s and “fix” it.

You're gonna want more power. :morepower Remember the Mule? GREAT looking car and engine package. But Charley was bored to tears as it was by far the slowest car he had lol, hence the twin-turbo project. I love the idea of N/A and the big block look, but I'd want at least another 100 hp over what you've planned, and only do it once. Just a thought from an arm chair QB... :peepwall:

Matt and crew at Sled Alley clean the shop everyday. Always looks great. His attention to detail is very high.

LS427 or LT4
 
A 600+hp/550lbft LS427 NA stroker seems doable with MPFI for the big block look you're after Mark... or a lightly modded LT4 dressed with a cross ram Z/28 air cleaner on top?!

Do an engine bay like this but not an A/C car but the factory BBC heater core box.

That's hot. I think this is a great look. The engine bay is amazing.

Mark, are you going to be using a Holley system for harness/PCM? Are you using the Lokar LS Classic pieces to dress the engine up? Looks great!

Yes Holley ECM. I will use a few Lokar bits like the valve covers.

Sled Alley is going to build the cowl air cleaner.

Looks great. Does it fit if you spin the TB 180 degrees?
