The engine has sat for almost 2 years and comes from a standard trans supercoupe. I was told by the PO of the engine that it was a 94 as it came out of a 94 supercoupe... but after some discussion w/some folks over at v6power (V6_Sprout, and Road Hawg) it seems that I have an 89-93 motor. :nonono: Fine w/me just gives me an excuse to stroke it to a 4.2.. I have contacted Delk Performance about what I would like to see out of my engine and am awaiting their responce for the most cost effective (yeah right) way of reaching my goal. I figure I'll go w/the 4.2 crank, forged internals, well ported heads, a great cam, and maybe a bit of blower porting to reach my intended goal of 275-300 rwhp w/out the use of nitrous.. (which I have heard can be safely added in the form of a 75shot to the supercoupe engines) to push me upto and possibly just past the 300rwhp range. That will more than likely kill the 7.5 but hopefully w/judicious use of the gas pedal it will hold out till I can get an 8.8 and have it stuffed w/3.73's and what not. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />uttahere:I also have a TON of extra parts that came w/the engine, I have a set of ported heads (flow numbers unknown they were gasket matched is all I know) Two extra supercoupe waterpumps and timing chain covers, I have a few inlet pipes, another blower (that needs rebuilt as the rotors hit inside and the coating is wearing off of them) an extra oil cooler, supercoupe radiator (the good one w/the brass end tanks) extra supercoupe fans, another block, chrome fuel rail (bare) and a couple of other misc. parts. I will gladly part w/what ever I don't need for a reasonable price plus shipping and paypal fees.. just drop me an email @doc_griffin@charter.net and I'll get you pics of what your interested in.Now that this has become a book I'll let it go and get to wrenching.Wish me luck boyo's for I may need it.. Ive a long road ahead of me, and w/the birth of my son just a few weeks away I fear this will take a bit longer than originally planned (planned on having it done by now... ) <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />imp:</blockquote>
