Talk about a class act, even the video is over the top.

After seeing Warren Stramers car at SDAC, the land speed cars wiring and lines look like a cobbled up mess.

That things is pretty sweet though. Is the engine block a one off item?

[moparman76_69]

Mopar midget block. Designed to take either a W9 V8 head or a P5 Hemi head. Similar engine was used in the "Blowfish" barracuda that Foose designed and ran by the same guys that built this streamliner.

To be honest, I was expecting a DOHC head, but I would imagine not having cams and a belt would reduce the chances of it coming apart. It only runs 24# of boost and makes over 1000hp.

[moparman76_69]

Yeah it is the A-4 midget block, basically a 5.2/5.9 block with the right hand cylinder bank hacked off and a 4 rod journal crank. I contemplated building one with the p5 head for as long as it took me to find out the block alone was 5000 dollars.

I thought the displacement on some of those was pretty huge. That motor also obviously revs higher then anyone posting here.

They're out there for less than that. Nobody really pays retail for anything except insurance companies.

Yeah I was expecting a DOHC motor also.

Awesome! +1 looking familiar to the "blowfish" setup...

DOHC? A good flowing 8v head and big valves, who needs it? Just look at Top Fuel

[rib256]

Made it look easy. Wow

Was that your thought when you went to a 16v?

Good luck trying to convert F1 series cars to 8v heads...

[turbovanman²]

Wow, insane, I love speed but no way I'd do that, one mistake and your tofu.

At 426 mph, your doing 7.1 miles in 1 minute,

[Mopar318]

Or roughly 190 meters/second.
