The motor has ceramic coated headers with custom aluminized exhaustpipes.It produces 676 hp at the flywheel and 648ft/lbs. of torqueusing 92 octane gas. At no point in the power curve does this motor produce less than 500 foot pounds of torque. There is an 850 CFM Demon carburetor on a high rise intake. It is cooled by an aluminum BeCool radiator with twin electric fans.
Drivetrain: It has a Tremec 5 speed with a Hurst pistol grip shifter. A new clutch, pressure plate and driveshaft were installed with the transmission. It has a 4:10 Dana rear end. There is a set of brand new Hoosier 275/60/R15 tires on the rear and a set of Firestone 205/75/R15's up front. All are on Weld wheels.
