Engine is a 404 inch turbo motor.
Here is a thread around dyno time.

The rear end is the standard 9" big boy drag race stuff, gun drilled axles, 5/8 studs and so on with strange brakes.

March 3-6

Dave's car does not retain a factory type LCA and was changed a few months ago.

The T-top delete panel will be installed with an adhesive during assembly.

The roof of the F-car is glued in place. This car was a t-roof car that we converted. The roof will be final installed with the doors on and windows up to align everything properly.
