the real question is :

how long will that crate 351 last unless he has played with the innards to make them blower friendly.

been there done that, grenaded in 3000 miles > wrong pistons, too high compression for the boost... KABOOM.

it was sweet while it lasted, but not worth the repeat for me. if the engine innards are blower friendly, it would last a lot longer. the sound of that blower spooling up is awesome, like a F 16 jet on a fly by and it kicks you to the back of the seat at the same time. lift the hood and crowds gather. but it wont last if the engine is not right for it. bill
