The track was hot and it didn't have enough race fuel. I ran 13.436 in it without the heads and did it on a 3.25 pulley at 102.9mph. I feel confident it had the power *if I had the will to go back* to pull a 13.0-12.9 with the heads, it just didn't come together that day for me.
At any rate, yeah, the two bests are 13.436 on a 3.25/stock heads and 13.42 with the heads and a 2.8 without enough race gas at a hot track. That motor was a freak on a 3.25, and the 3.1 w/heads.
Anyway, time to go!

i'll call into a yard that i am familiar with...they have offered me the L67 for around $600 with less than 70K on the engine...any year engine from 97-05 right?
You all know me...I'm not good with this kinda stuff...BUT...
Wouldn't it be far cheaper to rebuild with the few parts that you need instead of dropping a new engine in...even if you did get one from the junker? Aren't pistons like $30-50, connecting rods <$75? Valves can't be that expensive in the scope of things?
NVM, I must be missing something
Best of luck to you.
