not that I'm aware of, but why would you want to? If a stock 5.0 will kill one, what do you think the added torque of a bbf will do?

Yeah I was thinking about even putting a 351 in my car car the added weight and so forth would be a waste. Considering the 302 can run 500hp smoothly and he a snap off the line with rev happy rpms than any other "big" engine. I ran an 8th mile in 6.55 seconds on 17" rims so after I fix my constant PCV valve pop outage LOL I will post my times in my garage

A T5 will never last behind a big block.


As far as the added weight being a waste, you need to go back to school. Every 100 pounds added at worst case will cost you a tenth of a second. The extra horsepower you can potentially make will by far offset the difference in weight.
