McLaren marine engines out of Outerlinits
 

Was at MCACN in Chicago Saturday and there were lots of rare muscle car engines on display and in the middle of them was a big blower engine. It looked like standard big block Chevy stuff other than the heads. Valve covers Said McLaren marine engine. The sign on the display said they were in a outerlinits that ran 130. Anyone know about this ?

Looks like a SONNY'S racing Hemi style Engine

DAMMIT! I wanted to go to that show and I forgot all about it! i live like 10min from there too! Im gonna go kick a cat now!

the heads are a lot smaller than a Sonny lenoard hemi

Million dollar big block...

You beat me to it lol

HEMI 99 is one of the pro stock engine generations. So it’s some sort of 4.9 or 5.0” bore space tall deck monster. Pro stocks were typically around 9” deck height, because they are 500 ci. So this probably 10-11” of deck height, custom block. All of the heads may have been billet. Cool piece and would have been pretty state of the art 20 years ago.

They didn’t push it very hard or it’s blower limited. 500” Pro stocks made 1500hp.

Wow, thanks for sharing it.
