Old School morphed with Current Tech

So I wanted to build a new engine for my IROC. The goal is 500/500 at the tire. Built a 379 and morphed current ECM into it. Added a trigger with COP, and current CNC heads with elbow and EFI components. I dyno'd it, now putting it in the car with a new Holley HP system and headed to a Mainline chassis dyno. Not your traditional SBC, EFI engine. Very different!

Chad I bet the torque curve will great between 2500 -4000 rpm. I know you did not build for mpg. but would not be shocked if its a lot better than you think. Maybe 20 mpg.

Putting a LS in my 3rd Gen wasn't an option. I was going to put the 4150 style throttle body on it but I like the look of the factory air cleaner system of these cars.

Can you hide the coil packs then add a small belt with charger down low. I am just ragging you. You know how much I like your work. I send people to you. I say he is not like everyone else he likes his stuff to look not just clean but factory. Will it carve some fast curves too? With heat and C of course. I am possible digging my old malibu wagon out need to put it back as shop truck hauling empty trailers and etc.
