Heads are Aluminum AFR 185’s Roller Rockers on a Trick Flow cam with .574 lift, which seemed a little aggressive to me on paper but it is streetable. Block .030 over with ARP rod bolts and hypereutectic pistons. In 2003 (a dollar in 2003 had the buying power of a $1.30 today) the guy that commissioned the original car paid $9,668 for the engine/transmission. Runs cool even during the heat wave we have in Missouri right now...driving it reminds me a lot of my old '62 Corvette, pretty raw but tons of fun!
