      Thanks MR-quik im happy to be back, the poncho made 575hp/577lbsfeet of torque its a 70,s engine 462 eagle stroker kit 10.01com mildly toutchst heads(clean up work) with chevvy big blok size valves. comp cam XE284 torque hit from 2800 to 4400. it ran out of air at 5800 altho at 6000rpm it still made 500 hp. a bigger carb would made it make more power(it hase holy AED 850ho) it needs a 950 AED ho carb . But right now we dont see the signifecens of it lolol.engine was built by Jim Lehartd from Central Verginia Mashine Sirves. about the shock mounts yes it looks nicer(took that from mercedes lolol). altho i did order the compleat mini tub kit from"DSE" it was disided not to interfear with the tention and natural stresses of the body work . i got manny manny goodies that have to be used in the build up proses ,withs i ofcours will post.its been very frustrating reading all the stuff on this board but not beeing able to partisiopate. it felt like a kit in frond of a candy store window. forgive my spelling im dutch and the spell chek didnt work!!!! ps LOVE that red GTO on your site got a 69 myself for the neckst project!! big plans for that one as wel..........

      You sure got that one right!!! , the poncho engine was/is a intermidiate engine inbetween chevy big and small block with size and weight, with alu heads manifold its about the same weight as a chevy small block,BUT with schevy big block "performance" .ther is no dinying about the chevy big block being the best big block ever made fore the strip(till resendly) however the street belongs to the injun engine!!!

      Hey David,
      What intake are you running...Is it a torker 1 or 2?...I am glad to see those #'s...That is almost the exact set up I will have...If I stay naturally aspirated...Mine is still in pieces though.

      Jeff its a Torker II manifold .got the bowtie overdrive level III tr2004r trans behind it and a moser 12 bold 3.42:1 ratio. with this nrs of performance you dont need turbo,s superchargers ecetera(all overkill) because your not able to put that on the road anyway. dont get me wrong i think that stuff looks AWESOME, but i rather stick my money in the rest of the car, i belive a 850/1000 hp turbo car would not go any faster on the street then a natural espired 575 hp car . and the way i look at it is that the pro touring g mashines camaro,s and firebirds should be a ecstention from the origenal Trans am raceing series cars in the first place .but thats for every man to disied . ps for some rezen the spell check refuses to help me out!!!!
