Is all the power through one axle?

Yikes, over 500hp! These are strong engines but it must be right at the limit of what the block and the rods can handle. I remember my Edition 35 years ago Had a tickle to c.300hp and it hated the extra power, just couldn t deploy it at all. Fun station car though. Yours looks great in red imo, good luck with the sale!

Serious question, will that amount of power/torque through the front wheels only be safe/deployable on a prepped surface.

Doesn't need to be a prepped surface, with all the other work done the suspension the brakes and the chassis it handles it all well

Such a cool car. Doubling power and not servicing for 2 years is a red flag though.
