With today's arrival of the aluminum block 426 gen 3 Hemi, I don't think I would put any money on the golf cart

I don't know. If you put a hayabusa engine it could be interesting. LOL
Any chance of spilling the info on engines?
Thanks for sharing.

Casey - Last job I had was thinking of good things to say about you on the P.A. system at Monster Mopar! lol

I am currently the shop assistant to Mr. Kevin Helms who is the Race Shop Manager/Race Driver (previous 3 time NHRA National Stock Champion)for Mr Jeff Teuton's Southland Dodge Race team in Houma Louisiana.

But I will see you again in Norwalk Sept. 13-15.

Just kidding, that is really cool though! I could not even imagine being around those everyday! Sure would make going to work a lot easier ! Not to mention I hear the Southland bunch are great people! Thanks for sharing

See ya at Norwalk!

Yesterday the 426 aluminum motor showed up by truck. By end of day today it had 16 hard pulls on the dyno for break-in a tuning. Now waiting to be told which car to install it in. (likely the Blue one!).



Todays job (after putting the 426 on the dyno) was removing a 800hp Indy 500cid motor from a 65 Plymouth to make room for a Hemi stocker motor.





Anyone need a LeBaron S/G car?



A little more shop candy - The "large" machine room.





Ryan, if you show up at US Nationals in INDY in Wed., I can make that photo shoot happen!
