That last pic was what came off. 12" rotors with '87 style calipers and carbon pads plus matching rear pads.Maybe around 1000 miles since I put them on .If you want them let me know 'cause they are going in the rubbish on monday morning.

Very nice. Just curious what engine/mods the '87 Lingenfelter has: that was during the time when he was doing some really breakthrough modifications design. Loved those cars.

Lee from what I could see when I broke it down last year the crank(4340 steel),4 bolt main,polished billet rods,all the oil feeds are radiused,forged pistons,hydraulic rollercam lpe74219,moly rings,high pressure oil pump,true roller timing chain,ported 'd' heads,2",1.56" stainless valves,comp cams 1.6" roller rockers,super ram base,super ram plenum runner,58mm throttle body,26# injecttors,rechipped,15/8" headers,high stall convertor.I have no emissions devices on the car.Lingenfelter tells me it should be putting out around 440.The most interesting thing is the torque.It will pull smoothly all the way to max from 1100rpm in o/d.Power really kicks in around 3600. Incidentally with 68000 on it the motor was perfect,I put new rings and bearings in there and stuck it back in.
