It might be a sacrilege, but the work is awesome. I'd easily take this over the 2JZ powered Camaro.

I'd hit it twice.
 
Might help to read the link.

Yes, a FORD! I already had it! It was originally going into a '93 Mustang LX, but sold it in trade for this '68 Camaro. Engine had too much in it to let go so one thing led to another and in it went. There was a big benefit! I was able to move it back 4 inches for better weight distribution and add the turbo intercooler behind the radiator core support. Talk about your controversy! I love it...

Head Info
For the head work I turned to CHE Precision Inc. and Wegner Automotive Research. Between these to companies, they produced a head that performs beyond my expectations. AFR starts out with a very good street head, but where I was planning on taking it, I needed some good added insurance. Since CHE Precision and Wegner Automotive are both in the NASCAR engine business, this was a great place to get I was looking for. Power & Reliability!

C.H.E. Precision Inc. custom machines Valve Guides, Valve Seats and Ti retainers to NASCAR specs all day and everyday. #1 in manufacturing high end precision and reliability!
Wegner Automotive Research prepped AFR185 heads. 7 angle valve job substantially increased mid cfm flow from stock. See head flow data below. From previous dyno pulls with stock AFR's, there was a 40-50hp gain throughout mid rpm range.. No porting was performed...Very Impressive!

Power Adder
Incon Systems 800tti Twin Turbo Kit (Good for up to 800hp) Unfortunately no longer in business.
Designed for small block Fords
Cooling
Custom Ron Davis Radiator & Intercooler
These guys produce one hell of a product and helped design this one off set-up. With the 2 pass radiator design and the the high flow intercooler, the engine never gets hot. Superb!
12psig of Intercooled Boost
Pump gas (91oct)
25 Deg Timing
750hp @ 7200rpm / 573tq @ 6200rpm! (653rwhp/498 rwtq) @ 90Deg air temp
 
Besides the look of the side pipes, that thing is SICK. don't get me wrong i love side-pipes but they only look good on very few cars IMO. i'm sure they sound amamzing. would look better if they exited where they are now instead of having the whole side pipe run along the side like that. :shrug:

lol at the 302 on the side. awsome! :laugh:
 
That is pretty cool, now if they could incorporate some kinda mopar stuff into it it'd be a complete aboniation! I think its great!
