Says it was actually 25K, 50 for both. I read down the thread and that wasn't recently that they were bought, and they're race engines. I could see it.

It looks more like an 89 than an 87 to me.

Its hard to tell, but it almost looks like a one piece intake manifold as well. The strut tower brace appears to be part of the shock towers, and you can clearly see the racing style adjustable strut plates on top.

The engines were obviously nothing special. I'll bet over half of the vehicles owned by people here have more than 217 hp. What is that...an upgraded IC and some boost? Maybe some porting? It wouldn't even take that much boost to crank out 220 hp.

Nothing special, just made to be a little more durable when pushed hard for an extended period. I would guess that even if 1/2 the cars on this site made that much HP, 1/2 of them wouldn't finish a race against one of these cars either. The celebrity race cars were never that wild, consider who's driving them...

I'm gonna go with an 87 or 88 with 89/90 body kit on it. look at the rear spoiler: It has the three supports rather than two like on the later modle daytonas.
