That’s right, the biggest and baddest ass production Ford built V8 in the company’s long history was an 1100ci, all alumimum, dual overhead cam, 32-valve piece that made over 1,000 lb/ft of torque just off idle and more than 520hp when run at its happiest RPM.

I am not a big motorcycle enthusiast, but I have a weird affinity for old English bikes. If I were to own any motorcycle (and of course I’d have to be loaded up with cash to do it) I’d choose an old Vincent Black Shadow. These motorcycles were decades ahead of their day in power [...]

We ran across this simple video from Holley that shows the basics of Holley Power Valves and know that for some reason Power Valves seem to have a lot of voodoo surrounding them. There shouldn’t be, but for some reason folks seem to think they are hard to understand, tune with, and change. They are [...]

Cadillac’s 331ci overhead valve V8 was introduced in 1949 and it was a fantastic engine for the time.

With shaft mounted rocker arms, [...]

We’ve been showing you some dyno videos this week and several of them have featured turbo engines. We were loving the fact that a couple of them touched the magical 1,000hp mark. Well those engines are going to look like a couple of pea shooters after you get a load of the mother that is [...]

As I sit here waiting for some new head gaskets to arrive for Buford T Justice that I ordered from Summit, dreams of turbocharged LS goodness have crept into my brain. It isn’t any secret that a thoughtful matching of good factory parts and the addition of forced induction, especially via a turbocharger can transform [...]

One of the most loved on, looked at, and drooled upon cars at the 2012 SEMA show was the Pure Vision built 1966 Martini T5-R Mustang. This creation from the mind of Steve Strope was a “what if” car that combined elements of vintage rally, road racing, and even Indy cars from the 1960s. The [...]
