I think it’s safe to say we built the right piece to power Whistlindiesel’s general Lee. One of our Dart LS next based 427s filled with a Callies crankshaft, connecting rods and Gibtec Pistons topped off with our BRODIX BR7 cylinder heads. We knew this engine would live a rough life so we kept the camshaft on the lighter less aggressive side. We’re really happy to see it making decent power and Cody still enjoying it a couple years later.

Today I will be driving the world's fastest General Lee next to cops until I get pulled over or go to prison for life. Which will happen first 😈Quality Appa...

We flew out to New Zealand to help further assist CMR with their quest to break the piston powered, wheel driven land speed record. Their goal being 550mph. Extremely happy to have met such an awesome crew. Working out of the "shed" for a couple weeks surrounded by other intelligent people sharing the same passion really brought back the love of motorsports. We feel land speed racing really is the last form of motorsports that allows people to think outside the box without a laundry list of rules and this team really has embrace that. The mental exercises that are presented when trying to accomplish what they set out to do is extremely refreshing to say the least. We will have some updates on this project soon from Bolivia Salt Flats. CMR Bolivia

We feel extremely lucky to have great customers. Every so often there is that one that comes along that not only wants to go fast but also learn. Richard C. Flint is that guy. His eagerness to learn and go fast is on a different level. We have benefited greatly from his drive and openness to think outside of the box. Nothing makes an engine shop look better than someone with their product that understands tuning, suspension and racing as a whole. His S2K is a true street car, often driving it to work and putting thousands of miles on it with hundreds of mid 7 second passes. He is running our 413" dart based LS, our Brodix BR3 Cylinder heads, BTR stock style shaft rocker system and springs with a hydraulic roller cam. Still running MLS style gaskets because they just work. Look for this hotrod to be in the winners circle more often and continue to get quicker.

We have been building these Lamborghini/Audi V10 engines for over 10 years now and have been forced to build so many custom parts. We came up with this dual valve spring setup for the customer that wants all the boost AND all the rpm. We knew we needed the added spring pressure but the dual spring keeps harmonics at bay. We also made new valve guides out of moldstar90 as we don’t see a reason to skimp on cheap materials at this level. Moldstar90 is proven to take the punishment of these extremely high power engines unlike the other materials out in the market.

We built an engine for our shop truck that was comprised of random parts we had acquired over time. Its made up of a LS3 block, L8T Crankshaft with LS9 heads and a Harrop 2650 supercharger. Combination made 402" and is a friendly 9.5-1 compression as its made to run on pump gasoline. We stopped at around 13.5 psi of boost that made just over 900hp on 93 octane gasoline. While rolling into the throttle you can see and hear the power come in real hard and fast due to us needing to adjust the bypass valve. Harrop Engineering SuperFlow Dynos and Flowbenches

We are terrible at posting photos, videos and projects from the shop. Next week we will shoot for one post a day on some cool projects. See how long we can actually keep that up. Good to kick it off with this awesome post from ProCharger Superchargers. Chris’s Corvette turned out pretty damn nice!
