I got a 393. Check my sig. for the combo info. I had a local reputable engine builder build it to FRPP crate engine spec and made sure I tied up the bottom end with a DSS main support system. It runs like a bat out of hell and I haven't even had it above 5 grand. It's a lot for the streets around here. Only had 200 miles on it when I realized my tranny cooler was clogged (teflon tape), but it was too late. The damage was done. I was told by my engine builder than my bearing clearance had increased about 4 thousands from spec and that my tranny expanding during the overheat pushed against the crank. He told me I could still drive it but not to get on it super hard and not to take it down the track until I can get a new set of bearings. That's what I was told so I'm pulling the engine this weekend but the bad news is the track closes this Sunday for the season so I won't have any ET #'s until next spring But I know that it has to run in the 12's. Are you thinking about getting 1?
