This engine is a close copy of Tom Wolfe's engine. He is a MUCH better horsepower wrangler than we are, so we don't expect our engine to perform anything like his, but his makes approximately 500 horsepower, going 11-flat @ 120 in a 3,400-pound car into a 15mph headwind.
If we can gat 400hp out of this bucket of bolts, we'll be really, really happy! That would give us quarter-mile times in the 11.30s @ about 118mph.
That's a lot easier to say than it is to do, however, and saying it doesn't make it true! Talk is cheap... we'll see.
This has been a 4-year project for us and it is finally about to be ready for the drag strip.
Anyway, here's some pix...
