Piston: There where two different design but we chose to go with Coated JE!
Cams: where custom grounf by Crower
Piping: Will be done by my Tuner and builder All Ford Performance!
Engine management: We have yet to determine this but I am still leaning toward Big Stuff 3.
Twins vs Big Single: It has been proven, over and over that a Mod Motor responds better with Twins then a Single thumper. Too achieve 2000 RWHP with a single we would have to run 90 plus mm.Even though the piping will be more difficult on the twin 76's it will out perform a single thumper! And this gives me room to remove 76's and go to 88's if need be.
Will be using a water/air cooler that will be in the back seat area!

Too achieve this Hp I would have had to run a old school pushrod motor. I am not a huge fan of pushrod motors, cool for back in the day but there is so much more potential out of a cammer motor without all the trouble associated with a pushrod motor. I only wish that there was a bigger version of this motor, say 7.0 litres, the HP TQ number would be unreal!

I had a 1979 trans am 6.6 liter...black with the gold eagle on the hood and t-tops. I did some minor work to it. The usual...holley 650 double pumper, edelbrock manifold, roller rockers, cam shaft. I put a turbo 400 transmission with a shift kit in it and 373 gears in the rear. This was my second car i ever owned and I loved that car like nothing else...wow i miss that car. I put a pretty penny in it at a very young age

Cool...this thread is picking up.
Here's an old vid of the car showing some of the tear down, rebuild, etc.
