Tony,

Motor decision has been made!

I have ordered up a 383/550hp stroker with all the best parts:Forged crank & rods,11.:1 forged pistons,mechanical solid roller cam,alloy heads,Victor Jr.,MSD,ARP,etc.New clutch,flywheel,starter,headers...new everything.Peak power @6500.Dyno run and completely broken-in and ready to rock!

I should see it at my doorstep in about 6 weeks.

Then...it's hammer time!

I am soooo happy right about now...

Not bullet-proof enough for you or did I go overboard?
