What led to the EFI 582 being used?

Also, what are the specs on it?

Dart BigM block.. 335 Dart heads.. Lunati crank, lightweight I-beam rods, Wiseco pistons.

COMP four-lobe cam (hyd) with short travel lifters and a set of T&D shaft rockers. Will start with a carb and then move to an EFI system.

I did the big-block for the sake of the magazine.. I would rather have an LS, but I readers don't want every project to be a darn LS engine. Later I can swap if I want, but the BB should be fun and not a lot heavier than the blown LS I was going to put in the car.

Besides, Track RAT should have a RAT engine.. right?

It's to lull you into a sense of overconfidence..

Besides, the Gulf cars were REALLY baby blue.. and they were sorta fast.

I know it's not a trend-setting as black.. but it's somethin'

Cool colour Steve, glad to see you back on the site as well.

If I am not mistaken you have the quarters and fenders stretched on this car correct?

That BB sounds very cool. Got any pictures of it or any other parts/build shots of the car you can post?

Steve, you must be ahead of the curve, like those people in San Francisco.
