1SLO85

Got the car in November and ran it until June before I had a bearing failure which in turn broke a rod and cracked the crank. So, I tore the motor down and sent the block and heads to the machine shop. It's a 1985 GT, factory sunroof car.
Here are the specs of the car and the old motor set up...
new 408 sportsman block,Scat 4340 crank, Eagle forged h-beam 4340 rods,15.5:1 w/ custom je 3.5 cc dome pistons,total seal rings,h bearings, hv oil pump, ARP shaft, dss main support, Canton pan and pickup, ARP studs mains and heads, ARP 2000 rod bolts, AFR 205s milled to 52cc and ported by Al Keller of Lingenfelter, titanium retainers, k motion 950 springs, fel-pro 1156-2 head gaskets good to 18:1 and have copper fire ring(NOT O-RING)Victor jr ported and matched intake, Bolaws fuel log, sheet metal valve covers, Cammotion custom solid roller, Comp roller lifters, Comp Pro Mag rockers, lash caps, AFR stud girdle, sfi "0" balancer and flexplate,solid motor mounts with limiters on both sides and system 1 oil filter

trans:

My best pass was a 10.01@138mph with a 1.31 60' off the footbrake.
The new motor will be the same block (no damage to the block, THANK GOD) bored 60 over. Total cubic inches will be 415.
Manley 4340 H-beam rods, Lunati 4340 Pro Series crank, custom Diamond forged coated pistons (15.5:1CR), heads had more port/polish work (flow #'s from the flow bench are 332cfm@700 lift), Comp Cams triple valve springs, Comp Cams 3/8 chromemoly push rods, splayed 4 bolt main caps, everything balanced and blueprinted...as well as a few other goodies and tweaks.
The goal for the new set up will be 9.4-9.5's N/A. I also just my new hood in today. It's a 4" windshield cowl from HO Fibertrends. The car weighs 2655lbs with me in it. I am looking to shed a few pounds with Lexan in the hatch and rear 1/4 windows.
Anyhoo, here are the pics...
