ENGINE

The engine. a 440 was torn down to the block. It was line ad bore honed to . 030 over. A new balanced blue printed rotating assembly by Muscle Motors was professionally installed. The motor was built to withstand up to 2000HP. Compression was reduced to 8:1 with Ross pistons and Hellfire rings. custom Smith Bros heavy duty pushrods. A new D1SC Procharger (15PSI) kit with power-steering and AC compressor was installed along with a new single plane intake manifold. Ontop of the intake sits a ZEX custom NOS plate with a 200 shot pill and and a n 850CFM Holley blow-through carb. The heads were completely rebuilt withdouble springs and oversized valves. Custom roller cam. roller valves and double springs with titanium retainers. Both the heads. intake AND exhaust manifolds were polished and port matched. The Supercharger is equipped with a PSI regulated water/methanol injection system. The Doug Hedder headers were ceramic coated and flow into a custom 3 inch exhaust system that is equipped with electric cut-outs which open at the flip of a switch. The engine is cooled by a new 3 row aluminum radiator with thermal controlled dual fans. Fuel is supplied by a double filtered MagnaFuel Prostar pump and an Aeromotive pressure regulated fuel regulator with return line. Estimated horsepower is a conservative 1000BHP at 15PSI. plus an additional 200 NOS shot. The NOS system is controlled by a switch on the dash and a micro switch on the carburetor.
