Turbos, Blowers, SOHC & DOHC V6 & V8s, Hemi Heads, Light Loads of Nitro, Nitrous Oxide, More Displacement out of a Small Block, the combinations are endless in the hands of a creative engine builder.
"It seems that racing always ends up with one dominate engine. I've always been a competitor, like to see different brands and different types of engines out there. My Son was an apprentice and his project to be a Class A pattern maker was to make a six cylinder block out of my eight cylinder block. To make a long story short, we built a V-6, 429 inch Hemi and put it in a sprint car. The second night out at ascot, we werethe number one qualifier and the thing was very competitive. It ran good and sounded good, because it was different."
