... That's one sweeeet motor ... once that puppy is in your Cal Special, you'll be smoking tires all the way down to the grocery store ... we just may have to call you Smokin' Joe ...

Thanks. I'm very excited!! As far as the new name goes, I've been called alot of things in my life. Smokin' Joe is OK in my book.

Think of what you'll $ave on tires! And for all the times Joe will have to stop for gas - you'll beat him every time in a "distance" race ;-)

You're alright, Joe ... I would only try to compliment my fellow 'Stangers ...

I haven't seen the dyno sheet yet, but I was told the engine put out 556 HP @ 6100 RPM. Here is a video of the dyno run.

Wow! I feel like I'm at the Drags ... Joe, your gonna have one mean engine, you might wanna start thinking about an exhaust system ...

I already bought it. I have Doug's Headers and 2 1/2" Stainless Maganaflow exhaust system.

Thanks Paul. Believe me, I can't wait either. My hopes are that it can be done in time for my car's birthday, Feb. 13th.

I just got the dyno sheet. I put the HP & Torque numbers into a graph. All I can say is, Wow! This engine has one of the flattest torque curves I've ever seen.

 

[CALIF GIRL]

Wow...those are some high numbers....

Good thing I have a radio and helicopter to catch you with, because I don't think my crown vic will keep up....

I would never speed on a public highway, Officer. Honest. :icon_no: :icon_no: :icon_no:

 

[CALIF GIRL]

I believe you...and I am sure you would never do burnouts or spin any donuts in parking lots either...

Those aren't public highways, are they, Officer?

<~~~~~~~Has Joe's phone number in her cell phone and when he calls me it says SMOKIN' JOE. LOL! :grin:

 

[joedls]

Just got this really cool present for my GT/CS. Hopefully she can all be put together for her birthday on 2/13. :grin: :grin: :grin:

 

[CALIF GIRL]

That "present" sure is pretty

 

[Diesel Donna]

YOWZA!!

I just took my car out for a test-drive after installing the new engine, AOD, Doug's Headers, 2 1/2" Magnaflow exhaust, limited-slip differential w/3.50 gears, subframe connectors, and traction bars. The car is scary powerful. Couldn't keep from breaking loose the tires. I've gotta do something about that. Can anyone here recommend a good street slick? :grin: :grin: :grin:
