The engine was built in 2007, according to the accompanying receipts. It is a Pontiac 400 V8 that now displaces 455 cubic inches, having been bored .060 over and stroked with an Eagle nodular iron 455 crankshaft. It features Keith Black hypereutectic pistons, Sealed Power moly rings, a Melling camshaft with 231/240 duration and .470 lift, and an electronic ignition. The engine’s rotating assembly was balanced to a one gram tolerance. The #62 cylinder head received Melling valves with a 3-angle job and high-performance springs. The seller and Car Craft state that the exhaust manifolds are Ram Air IV cast-iron pieces, which are bolted to a ceramic-coated dual-exhaust system that ends just ahead of the right-rear wheel. An accompanying dynamometer graph from 2015 reveals that the car produces 290 horsepower and 351 lb-ft of torque at the wheels.
The blanket affixed to the underside of the hood is made of Nomex, Car Craft wrote. The 5-speed manual gearbox is an LGT-700 from Legend Gear & Transmission. An invoice shown below indicates that it has a 2.66:1 first gear. Recent service reportedly included an oil change and fluid check less than 10 miles ago.
