Looks like an automotive small block V-8 bored and stroked to 378 cubic inches! It must have a specialized oil pan and a dry sump oil pump...?

A specialized fuel injection side draft throttle-body supplies the juice which will flow nearly 40 gallons per hour!!!

At first I though...nah...can't be :!:

It sure is for real though and son of a gun the wheels are turning on what I could do with that thang. Slap a reduction gear on that baby and look out Area 9 Nelly :)

You can troll and I'll do my part to keep the Arabs in bidness racing around Puget Sound pissing off the People for Puget Sound :D :D :D
