nice spec, i got some 5.4 GT heads complete (super car GT not mustang) for a future 5.4 build and a GT supercar inlet for 16 injectors, just going stock 4.6 03/04 for now but change the supercharger for a whipple 3.4 to see what the engines are like before going for the all out high end build, i'll be going for one of MMR's higher HP rotating assemblys, and a GT block still running the dry sump setup,

is that a sierra yours is in, can't quite make iit out, as said, i am on the lookout for an engine in about a month 6 weeks, then just got to ship it, 1 bonus though, as i'm currently working state side driving a truck coast to coast, if an engine comes up cheap because its local pick up only, i'll just get routed that way and strap it to the cat wallk till i can ship it myself

gutted, hope the engine gets used in something interesing, still not 100% what i'll be putting my engine in yet, but sure it will look good in something, mine will have a 3.4 whiipple supercharger, stand alone management, and if i can work it out, an air to air intercooler like a turbo so i can run higher boost, and when factory engine goes bang, i will build one.

I'm sure this thread is about road cars Rod so low down power and tractability are important to most.
