“350 hp? My 5.0 is 750.”
——————
Your 5.0 was still unrefined ore and undrilled oil by-products when my GTO was easily blowing the doors off of most Mustangs of the day.

Give me 55 years of technological progress, and I will raise you 1 Pontiac Ram Air V engine producing up to 900 HP on pump gas: https://www.krepower.com/Pontiac%20Street%20Engines.htm

The Mustang was a pony car, not a muscle car. Most had 200 or 289 ci. But the 428 was a different beast.

While you dream I drive.

Steve Morris Engines is a familiar name for those that follow the world of drag racing, or just the LS powerplant in general. After all, this is an outfit that created the famous all-billet SMX powerplant present in Tom Bailey‘s Camaro, a five-time Hot Rod Drag Week winner that has run a best quarter-mile of 5.99 seconds while also racking up over 1,000 miles of reliable street use thus far. That’s the sort of dual purpose build that most of us have always dreamed of having, but now, it seems as if Steve Morris Engines has once again topped itself in that regard.
