Race Engine Challenge--North Carolina, April 17-18 2026

Last Thursday I received a phone call from the proprietor of this event Mr. Greg Finnican whom I had met a few times at the EMC in Ohio, he was telling me about his upcoming engine challenge in April of next year. I have never been to North Carolina and I'm always down to mentally engineer a competitive Mopar engine build so I actually think I may build a 408 cube SBM for this deal. Basic rules are : 11-1 Comp/ .715" lift rule/3500-7000 rpm/ Best AVG HP x 3 pulls = Score.
I'm thinking a very basic 360/Scat 4"/Scat 6.123" rods/Mahle Motorsports Forging Piston 930271030 -16cc dish/1mm/1mm/2mm ring pack. Solid Roller cam/lifters. The only heads I have are some unported Speedmasters, the rules are very liberal however I think a set of W2's would probably fare far better for 408 cubes up near 7000rpm. I would love to get the FABO braintrusts' opinion on this deal. What would you guys do for the induction? Oh and it will be carbureted no question about it. J.Rob
