Drypipetiger had a pair of Sonny's motors with (you guessed it) dry pipes in his old Tiger. Awesome sounding mills.

WOW I see Callies already has cranks for this new application in the Compstar line http://www.compstarcomponents.com/Cranks/h5.htm
How many suppliers for this 5"spacing block and heads so far?

I now Sonny pretty well know and he has been pushing me to build a combination for marine that is Supercharged with his HEMI Pro Stock head . Any takers?

We figure the engine could make well over 2000 - 2100 HP on race gas for marine use.
