Nice car. I know I'm a little late to the game but what did you end up doing with the old motor?

Haven't been very active lately! Here's a little update for everyone!

The car is running good now. Had some issues with the engine and required some bottom end machining and a complete overhaul. Ended up breaking two main caps (somehow) so that issue had to be addressed.. Thank god my rotating assembly was still OK. While I was tearing into the engine I replaced the cam/lifters/heads/intake.

The cam I went with is a Lunati Voodoo Hyd Roller. The specs are as follows:
Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 294/302
Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 243/251
Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .560/.565
LSA/ICL: 110/106

Matched that cam up with a set of their Hyd Roller Lifters:

Installed a set of 195cc Performance World Aluminum heads and topped it off with a Edelbrock #2999 intake.

The car feels a lot more snappy than before and I cant wait to see what it'll run in the 1/4 next season.

Also installed my 9" and threw on a set of 28x12.50x15 ET Street tires.

Parts pile..

Old rear end out, assessing the damage.. haha

Figured since my car was up and running Id go snap a few shots before it got put away for the long cold winter..

Heres a walk around video with the cutouts open. The new cam really thumps!
