There was not as much new neat stuff this year.
World had a first gen SBC with LS heads on it I guess.
The problem with PRI is it is SO BIG it's hard to see everything.

Thanks for the reply, Mike. I checked out their web site but couldn't find anything on the heads.  Do you have any more information about them. Did they have their aluminum blocks in the booth?

The new block is a 1st gen sbc configuration that accepts LS heads; allows the advantage of the new heads without having to go to f.i., change motor mounts, etc. Story is in the current issue (Feb 09) of Hot Rod magazine.   vic

Thanks for the reference, Vic. I'll check it out. After seeing that $1.3M Mustang needed shock treatment!  :-)

Me too! I think the current owner's gonna be cryin' at  Barrett-Jackson if he thinks he can get his $ out of it (especially in these economic times)...     vic
