The company calls the project &#8220;Shaken &#038; Stirred&#8221; partly because of the shaker scoop which sits atop of a 6.2 L LS3 V8. The <a href=\"https:\/\/threepedals.com\/rides-gallery\/projects\/1989-pontiac-safari\/ls3-rebuild-540-hp\/\">rebuilt engine<\/a> features Mast Motorsports&#8217; SS camshaft, wiring harness, M90 ECU with pre-calibrated tune, Comp Cams 0.080\u201d wall chromoly pushrods, GM Performance intake, Total Seal\u2019s gapless top ring set, and ARP connecting rod and head bolts. The engine put down 435 horsepower to the wheels through a Hays Dragon Claw 1150 twin-disc clutch, T56 Magnum six-speed, 3.5\u201d aluminum driveshaft, GM 10-bolt rear end with an Eaton Truetrac differential and 4.10 gears. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0YcPmPzPQ7w\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\"
