    I have searched and found some great pics and a little info on the history of the mill. But does anyone have any more technical info on the motor? Current cubic inches stroker crank measurements etc? Do they know the hp and torque?
    And if you have any cool pics or stories.
    Thanks guys.

  14. What's it run? Or is it a "drag car" because it's dragged around in a trailer?:cool:

    I took those 3 videos at last years primer nats. That car is up there with some of the baddest! Marky's an awesome guy too, he helped me get my hot rod on the road. I spent a lot of late nights there in his garage. That motor is insane, pics and videos dont do it justice, it makes your whole chest shake when you are standing near it.
    Theres a whole spread in garage magazine no. 17 if you can still find it..
    I know hes been working on it for years and making it so it would pass tech. Its been a lot of shit to do. scatter shield, roll cage, steel fuel lines etc etc.
     
  26. Has it EVER been timed?

    Does it run on gas or alky? If it is running on alky then it will not get very hot no need for rad.

    I remember a editorial blurb written about it in something before there was other coverage on it. Saying how ridiculous it was and it's an inoperable characture of a car.
    The responses were posted all over youtube with gnarly burnouts from the "inoperable" machine. Hell with the critics. It's badass. My son wants it. I want it.
