Big power has never been easier to make, but that doesn’t mean that all of the crazy power can be made reliably. Certainly, there is so much new technology helping out, but that isn’t always the only answer to how to make big reliable power either. I mean who would look at a blown big block Chevrolet with two carburetors on it and think that’s the right way to make 900 horsepower, that will reliably run for hours and hours. This sucker looks wicked, would be insanely fun sticking out of the hood of your hot rod, and is of course at home in any good boat you’d want to own. That’s where this one is headed, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t just as easily go in your pickup or muscle car that you drive regularly.

Check out the video below, and see how this well-built, but low-compression combo, can live on pump gas while making real power.

Here is the description from the video:
