Obviously you are talking about my car. The motor is indeed about 12 years old and it was my Top Stock motor which was the model for the 360 Drag Pak motor. It has been upgraded to 2009 DP Specs and has been down and I can assure you it is quite legal and belongs in the car. I also have one that came with the DP new, and the block is a 2007 Block, as are all the (3) 360 DP motors. What am I missing here? I am actually quite proud of my old piece. The heads have been replaced, the manifold (which Wilson made for me in 2005) has EFI bungs added (it is SS after all), and all the other stuff. But we have run the motor for 12 years, and in Top Stock configuration it ran a best of 9.52 @ 138 mph in my Duster. The Duster also ran the motor for a few years in GT/FA. I think it ran a best of 9.80's in that configuration. Last year we noticed that it was leaking oil out of both headers, so we gave it a set of pistons for the first time in 8 years. Anything else?
