The engine has been through several iterations. It's a very healthy 385 stroker from a weekend warrior type drag car. It was built pre-LS so it's very old school. The heads are world castings and the compression is around 9.5:1. It's got a Lunati 292/292 with solid lifters and 1.6 rockers. It needs to be freshened up and some upgrades for what I have planned for it.

The major upgrade needed was the head studs and a thicker gasket to try to lower the compression a bit and really seal things up.
