Looks like from the documentation it was a Total Performance T finished about 2000 or so. At that time it had a high-rise manifold and a Holley 650 on it. Later it looks like a big tunnel ram went on with two Holleys. Then in 2018 or so, the engine was reworked for a blower with flat top 8.5:1 pistons and a Lunati Cam.Holy crap! That's nice.
Show me a picture of the scoop on yours, 409T. Also, I put Premium pure gas with no ethanol in it...overkill or not?Zinc is good for the engine but in your blower drive you want specifically a non-foaming oil. Don't step on the gas when you start it up or it may backfire which is never a good thing with a blower. I pump the pedal twice then take my foot off and turn the key to start it. The engine catches immediately and then I have to give it gas to keep it going because it does need to warm up before driving. I run a scoop with an open face to hide the air cleaners, it works just fine. Also don't set the blower drive belt too tight. I think it is supposed to deflect 3/4" either way from center when cold. As always, your mileage may vary.
Here ya go. It is a BDS scoop with a grill that I added to make the air filters a little less visible.
