We have Dan's car in for a minor short block change!lol here are some update pics.

[police4.6]

i think i've seen that engine bay before... except from a black car... weird.

[95riosnake]

Wow the short block got there a day early! Sweet! The freight company's site was saying delivery tomorrow, oh well, I'm not complaining lol.

Can't wait to check it out when I bring you those parts tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be in that engine bay doing some cleaning too, haha...you know how I am.

very nice....should be a really torquey setup.

Looking forward to the results.

I hope you take it to the track a couple times just to see what she'll do....

WOOO we need to do a tunnel run after that gets done!

[Ruthless]

Now the real question is...Will it be louder? :behindsofa:

[95riosnake]

Haha I'd say it's a safe bet it will be louder lol. I might need ear plugs of my own now lol.

Jeff I can think of like 3 nice tunnel run opportunities on the way to Carlisle :wink:

[Hidalgogt]

Hope it turns out to be a stout motor for ya. Always loved the 5.0 94/95 cars. Yours looks $$$$ nice.

I made a run in the tunnel with the 2.2 KB at full song on the way homw last year. A girl in the passangers side of a truck went "OH MY GOD" when I hammered on it. I cant wait to do it again.

+1 I love those tunnels, they're the best part about the trip there and back. Last year on the way home I actually came to a complete stop a the beginning of one because traffic was nonexistent, then ran the car out through 4th gear at the other end of the tunnel... Great fun :thumb:

[Rodeheavers]

i always pipe up the truck when rolling through a tunnel.... I do enjoy it as well.

[Tom]

Watch out after the 2nd tunnel (where there are 2 in a row), cops always sit behind a guard rail where they are hard to see.

[somethingclever]

yep...be sure to slow down to a reasonable level at the end of the tunnels

That looks real good.

I wish I could go to this tune day

What numbers did your combo put down? I'm curious because I have a similar combo but have the AFM B41 cam.

[95riosnake]

It made 342rwhp/408rwtq, the engine wasn't broken in at the time so it should make a little more on both numbers now

[94Cobra]

Congrats. With that kind of torque, it should be a blast to drive. What tranny and rear end gears do you run? I'm running a Tremec 3550 and 3:73 gears. My only complaint is having to shift out of first gear too quickly. I often just start out in 2nd. In one of the photos, it looks like you have replaced your stock rubber fuel lines to the fuel rails with braided hose. If so, where did you buy them?
