Has a 6.8l Triton V10... Lot of effort for little gain imo. http://jalopnik.com/5920238/for-15000-join-the-mod-squad

This car was built right here in Grand Rapids by some friends of mine. Jay also had a big block 96 Impala SS built that was recently seen in Muskegon at the Power Tour for sale.

Zack did a V-10 swap into Prozack a couple years back. IIRC, the thing was a torque monster, but he couldn't get revs out of it due to the extra rotating mass, so it ended up being a pooch. Still kind of a neat concept, even if it didn't work out as he'd hoped.

Yeah, for sure Todd, that was quite a project! Wish it would have been successful, what a beast that thing would have been if he coulda turned more than 4,500 rpm or so.
