as most on here know i build engines, port heads & intakes etc., etc. i manage to build some pretty cool stuff in the Competition Eliminator & Super Stock world, one of my guys qualified #1 at the recently completed IHRA Rocky Mountain Nationals in Super Stock, mostly naturally asperated stuff i do. i thought i'd share this with you...i was asked a couple weeks ago if i'd be willing to work on someones engine down the road. well at the afformentioned Rocky Mountain race this fello took out the thrust bearing in his engine. turns out it's an ex-NHRA legal 500inch Pro-Stock engine. it was Jeg Coughlin's ( Jegs mail order ) approx. four years ago. i'm guessing at that time this thing should have been making around 1280 H.P., could be more though. pretty neat to have something like this come through my doors. BTW the intake valve on this thing is 2.52" head diameter
