I built this in 1986 after buying a pair of Mickey's Pontiac hemi heads and an aluminum block from him. I had a lot of success in mini-pulling through 2002. It's been in dry storage since then, and it's time for someone else to put it back in front of the public. $20,000.

Flanged steel sleeves, Total Seal rings (gapless 2nd), 5-bolt 7075 main caps, '61 SD forged crank with center counterweights added, BME rods, custom made roller lifters (angled pushrod seats to solve the angled-pushrod problem), gear drive to cam, scratch-built blower manifold, Weaver Bros. dry sump (custom kick-out pan), small-bore 6-71 at 8% over (rotors reversed to improve flow to rear cylinders), Vertex mag.

370 c.i. Not dyno'd. I estimate 900 HP at 8,000 RPM. Safely runs 9,000 on the track.
