Never taken it to a dyno day to find out but at stock boost (which worries me as it is) and a header back exhaust system it hauls real good, I am running with the ultra overcomplicated and restrictive stock intake filter and inlet pipes without the n/a throttle body or grinding the dogleg (you may know what I mean there or may not) That is going to change but it is my DD not my racecar so not overly concerned. The lighter internals and n/a flywheel make it rev and bark up really quick which is awesome.
You can just drop the head on the bluetop or redtop engines but they lack a knock sensor so will throw a CEL and knock back the timing. The blocks are not as strong but they should hold this without any issues. They are almost exactly the same block and you can swap back and forth with ease.
I would really like to polish the rods or have them shot but it hasn't had an issue so far. Runs like it just rolled out of the factory and idles like a dream. Funny since it was just a slap together engine that I intended to replace with a stock one when it blew up.
