i now have a 94 GT with a 300 dollar short block in it and pull 7.2's in the 1/8th mile and low 11's in the 1/4.. i will be looking for 10's soon... and this is a daily driver too. full weight with all options.
so even if he blows up the motor.. it's no reason to pay someone big bucks to do a simple shortblock that can handle 500 horses..

um i f you read his original post over again he said 120,000 MILES, not km. and anything over 100,00 you r taking a risk, engines do wear even if they are taken car of!
