Re: Removing VIN numbers
My race engine is just a 2 bolt main.I have been making about 1100hp with it for about 4 seasons now which defys all laws of physics,but it has nothing more then main studs.When I got it,it was in a junk pile that somebody had their dog tied to,and it had a lot of cylinder ridge and sludge on it which indicates very high mileage.The guy I got it from said it was from a car,but I was just curious as to what kind of car.I spent about $1200 having the block machined and had it checked for hardness and wall thickness before I had it machined.I built it to run a racing class where they require production engine blocks and to run near the front of the pack would have required nearly 1600hp.Neddless to say the top guys go thru blocks like I go thru spark plugs.There was one guy in this class making 1600hp out o a stock block,stock GM 990 iron head 427 with a single fogger nitrous system on it.Running 8.30's in a 3600# car on radial ply street tires with enough mph to run 8.0's.I just figured I would throw in a little history of what I do.I bet somewhere out there some guy is getting ready to blow the main caps off of the all numbers matching block to somebody's L88 vette.Oh well.
