I stand corrected....not much of a crate guy. Bought a 350 HP Vortec roller once...paid over $2800 for it. Installed it in my 86 MCSS and it wouldn't even keep up with my old school 325 hp El Camino. Should have smoked it with a 3.73 rear axle [the Elky had a 3.08]. I lived and learned on that one.
