Couldn't hear much tho with all the damned rumbling
going on.

Al, Pete told me last week that anyone can build HP with cubes, he said the real talent is doing it with a stock block.


(Yes, I am taunting to see if we can get a Pete/Al shootout at the track)

Lee, you missed pizza Friday night.
If you only heard 441 LT5 cubic inches the sound is freaking awesome and scary.

I would need a 150 shot to line up next to it.

427ci coming soon to a Registry near you. :-)


Pete

Pete,

I was going to wait but I will go ahead and announce it, I am working with the famous welder, JB, to Epoxy together all three of my ZR1 engines giving me 1050 cubes and over 1300hp.

We are currently cutting up both of my perfectly good ZR-1s and the entire thing can be see on the Discovery Channels new show:
Monstrosity Garage.

Of coarse, break it in easy. I'm glad to hear it's running, no head gasket problems. Not making metal, all the scary stuff you would worry about on a new mountain motor.
