Default Re: Anyone know who is running this GT-1 LT-5

They still run Bonneville, they are talking about changing to cam belts, etc...

They are on Facebook but rarely respond....don't answer the phone all the time either.

Sounds like they are still running it then? I was looking to buy the engine, or some key components.

Anyone know if the car had any luck setting a new speed record for class it was running?
I can tell you what that crank cost. a fews years ago I had a 1200 hp 357 stroked mustang with a blower. it was tuned in michigan by john meany of dfi fuel injection and sent back to miami at crawford performance which has closed its doors for many years. I had 45k in that motor all fabricated. the crank was ordered from sonny bryant and it cost me 3800.00 in 1996 but I could rev that motor to 8k all day long with a blower. ran 8.50's at 160mph in a 3300 pound car dragging its wheelie bars all the way down the track. I drove that on the street to weekend gatherings. sonny bryant makes the finest cranks money can buy and that is why every professional racer orders cranks from him. fyi. ed ramos #3028
