Hey guys, I'm Josh, 19, from Sussex County. I own a 1987 IROC, not my daily driver but it's becoming my track car. It's got a mildly built & machined 454, I'd guess off the bottle it's in the area of 440-460 horses and easily 500+ ft lbs. Barely runs on pump fuel but that's mainly what I run through it, I bet it would really wake up with a retune and some 108.
Just got the motor in a few weeks ago, still working out some flaws. It was a tight squeeze but well worth it. The old 305 managed high 12's on a 100 shot and a mildly built top end, I'm expecting low 11's on the bottle with the new setup.
Oh and I plan on eventually buying a 4th gen WS6 sometime over the summer; would have had one this year but I totaled my truck and had to buy a new one and then I built 2 3rd gens.

During the build, this is a picture with crap rims on and no motor in the car from a few weeks back:

Can't beat a big block in just about anything. That engine pic is before you fired it up I presume?

Yeah picture is before I fired it up, I have only ran it gravity feeding fuel I just got the regulator and fittings today and have to tweak the timing. Should be running properly in a day or two depending on the weather.
Oh and I'm from Stillwater.

Let me see some pictures, only 3rd gen I can recall is the flat black one with what I thought was PA plates... its always in Newton.
My IROC will probably be getting my 350 vortec with a mild cam when it gets warmer out, plan on putting the motor into a Chevy 1500. Still unsure if I want to do a solid axle conversion or slam it and yank out the transfer case.
