Well maybe not all of it is under the hood.... 236 under the hood and the rest on the trailer.... LOL

Here is a pic of me hauling by buddies 1966 GTO convertible project, 462 cubic inch stroker dynoed at 586hp! The Tacoma pulled the car hauler with the GTO frame, engine, transmission, and rear end with no problem.

Yeh, it should be wicked. The body is going back on the frame this week. We're trying to get it finished by July to be shown at the GoodGuys event in Ohio. Lots of work to do yet and I'm not sure that we'll make it. Once back from paint we will have 1 month to do all of the wiring, interior, and convertible top. My wife is already not expecting to see me for a while.

My buddy has already been approached to have the dyno test data published due to some new design of the Kauffman Racing heads. Also a magazine had seen his website and they want to publish the project in a magazine when finished.

Here are the complete project pictures and details:

Here's a video of the engine test fire while it was still on the engine stand.
