Looks like an aftermarket casting. Is that an ATI powerglide with a G3 front bell?
Yep that's what it is. SFI-everything, and everything from ATI. ATI's flexplate is a real nice looking piece also, but I didn't get any pics of it (maybe next time).
We're probably going to have to take a shot in the dark with the coverter. There is no dyno information at this time, only an internal thought (hope?) of what it might make power wise. It'll probably be run the old fashioned way and then dynoed much, much later (if at all).
That is, if we don't bring the engine back home in a bucket.

After a bunch of internal discussion and some debating, we are going with a crank driven mechanical fuel pump from Aeromotive along with their regulator/filter.
We're not sure if we really need this much fuel pump, but better too much than not enough.
Our in-house fabricating genius is going to make some new fuel rails from the extrusions you see poking out of the box. Not because he wants to, but because nothing is going to fit anymore. We have the MP billet fuel rails on it currently which are fine for a regular 392... but they won't work with the 120lb injectors (!) and -12 line we're going to use so they gotta go. The injectors look like a miniature fire hose nozzle....
That setup just doesn't seem to make sense to me. I have personally ran -10 line with a Weldon 2025 to 1/2" rails and 83# injectors up at 600rwhp and have seen even more power, ~1000rwhp, from the same setups. With 70# of FP, you aren't going to lack any flow problems until you run out of volume.
One other question, why not cheap-o 160# injectors??

Someone brought this up today and I had to go look and see if the thread was still there. Glad it still exists.
This is, of course, all ancient history now (and I'm also two jobs past this, still an automotive guy but not there anymore....and no longer have any idea what the heck anyone there is doing...or not doing...whole other topic) but man, I am really glad I was there and did everything that I could, when I had the opportunity.
Back to your regularly scheduled discussion.

Was/is there some other thread with the results?
This one just seemed to fizzle out before any details were revealed.

It sure did fizzle out...there was a loss of interest all the way around. I may have mentioned the results somewhere else, can't recall.
ET was 9.24 in testing, I can't recall mph but it was a bigger number I definitely couldn't relate to comparing to my slow-ass street/strip personal experience. I'm sure my partner and/or engineering lead could remember MPH if asked.
I've attempted a bunch of times to document projects and results here over the decades(!), and it usually doesn't work out...this is usually what happens....
