I ran mine in SS/KA cause I'm fat. We got a new 360 for this year for the Duster in GT that Kevin is gonna drive. Should be on the dyno Friday. We will also freshen the old motor which is a Top Stock motor that I recycled into GT cause I'm a green kinda guy. And I guess all them Cobalts and Cavalieres don't have hand picked, underfactored, crate motors? I love you guys.

Jeff, can I go to the dealer and order me a new street car with that engine? That would be cool. Which model do I order to get one? Challenger? 300? Magnum? Which one?
If you check around you will find all the Cobalts and Cavalier GT cars do have engines that came in street legal new cars, emissions legal with a warantee. I don't think you could call those crate motors since you can pull one from a stock, street legal vehicle and build it.
I would build one like you have if I were starting over, those are killer combos. Smart thing to build. It will be fast even before you get it all sorted out. Like Drooze's car.
If I had one I don't think I would try to convince anybody it's not a crate motor. Everybody knows better. Ford now has them too. If you can't buy it in a street car, it's a crate motor. Like the GM HT383, etc.
