[RACER X #99]

Anybody know what the 5000+ hp top fuel and funny car engines are made of? I know the Ford guys stopped using the Cammer when they got up around 1200 hp. The FE SO could not take that much hp without exploding.
Shelby advertises their new 427 is good for 1000 hp.

The FE SO was a great engine a while back.
Evan , Not even a SO??? That was a quick fix back then to an already existing design. Today engines oiling systems are much better than the old SO design.

Evan, be satisfied that you have an original engine but don't try to convince anybody that yesterdays engine is better than todays.

Your Kirkham/Shelby may be a better Cobra than an original but you are still using a 30 year old design for power.
