Hey Ed!
Sorry for the delayed response. Like Matt said, I was out of town this weekend.
I hope you have the answer you were looking for. If not, let me know and I can give you the specifics you want.
Overall, I have about 400 miles on the car and the engine is great. The best part of the engine is the weight distribution. The car handles completely different than an original FE powerplant. Your get small block weight and handling with big block power.
I got my block from Jim Green's Performance Center. He buys 5 at a time from Shelby and receives a discount so you might pay a few hundred dollars less going with someone that bulk buys the blocks.
I believe George Anderson at
www.gessford.com (or 402-463-9844) may do the same but don't quote me on that. Besides, George is an active participant in the club and is very reputable.
Good luck!
Hey Drew!
You should post the specs of your new Shelby motor. I am VERY anxious to hear the latest design!
