Hello Simonlnz, Yes, the engine was a Chevy 454 block, with a Forged 427 crank, alum. Rods and Ross Forged deck high pistons. The blower was a 671 set up by Larry Dixon Sr. and the fuel delivery was with a tall 4-port Hilborn with 8 Enderle nozzles. When we came to the end of the money rope, I tried to sell the entire package and had no takers. Everything got split up. The roller ended up in Oregon.

Hello Simonlnz, Yes I can. We owned this car and ran it from 1987 thru July 1991.

The car name was "Altered Memories" driven by our son Chad.
