Skully, Brand name, looks and HP. I first looked at an all polished 402 Windsor on the Roush website. I was leaning that way and was ready to do a deal with Roush, however after discussing, yep you know it, the pros and cons of a BB vs SB with Randy Thomas of performance unlimited, I went and reviewed Roush's BB offerings and saw the 511 IR FE 8 stack, all polished and that blew my socks off. It had the wow factor and a lot of HP, 600 est HP and 650 of est. torque. I finally went with a contrasting black Tru Track option and a partially polished engine, with a few goodies thrown in like the domed billet stack covers. Roush sugested the Bowler auto tranny since they had done a match up with this company and offered it as a packaged deal.
The set up has a lot of appeal to me and I just hope all the bugs have been worked out of the engine.
Can you send me a pm and give me your email address so I can send you a video of the engine during its "birth", frigin' awesome sound and looks good too.
Cheers, tin-man
