It's a '69 Mustang.

I built him a 408C several years back and it dyno'd 575hp here. He just wanted a milder engine, something that would run on pump gas (10:1 compression), sound good for cruising, etc.

His downfall was that he took it to test and tune one night and got hooked...

By the end of the season last year, he was running 10.60's with that 408 I built him. Car wasn't sorted out real well, but he was doing pretty good. He decided that he wanted to change the car to a race-only piece, so he asked if I could build him a much larger engine.

I gave him a 200 hp bump.
