Gretch,
I've put ~10K miles on the engine now (car has ~57K). Truly amazing is the best description I can give you.
I use this as a daily driver, commuting ~30 miles each way (65% highway/35% city). In traffic, it's very tractible and well behaved. I typically get ~18.5 - 19 mpg. Pure freeway, best recordation to date has been 21.6 mpg for a tank of gas.
Torque available is astounding. Period. This car has 'walked' away (in many cases 'run') from SO many annoying rice rockets and wanna-be muscle cars. Wish I had a $1 for every smile it has brought to my face! <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />

Hmmm.....Thinking about this a bit, not sure if that's the kind of info (functional) that you were after.
This engine was built/installed by the crew at DEVEK. Quantitative info can be seen here
<a href="http://www.devek.net/index.php?page=nfo_dynoroom" target="_blank">Dyno Run</a>
Scroll down to the 1989 GT w/6.5 liter DEVEK stroker kit, stock heads, stock exhaust (no headers). Note that this is A dyno run and was done BEFORE headers and exhaust. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />

How do you get to 6.5 liters? The 5.0 with the kit get you to 6.0, where does the other .5 of a liter come from? over boreing to the next piston size?
