    Dennis Ferrara built some all aluminum 700ci motors. Lilly had a 36 Fountain with a pair of 900 hp as I remember. It had the tunnel ram like you said. They were the loudest motors I have ever heard. You could hear it coming some 5 miles away. It must have been around '89 or '90.

    Good engine builder can make any engine type make big hp. Friend of mind had Sonny Lenord build him a 1240hp 765 ci Single Carb motor for his boat. No power adders just one huged Holley dominator.

    I'm in Vegas at the street car supernationals. I was standing next to one of those engines yesterday talking to Sonny, and Frank Tamez who owns the car, while it was idling away in the pits. It sounded like a mild 540 just purring away... While we're tearing everything down and trying to keep ours alive for another round, those guys are just flippin burgers.. And it runs 6.40's

    NO... The 892" Hemi is a brand new 5.30" bore spacing engine from Sonny. They have NOT been in any boats yet. He has done a number of 5.0" bore center engines for boats, but none of the big stuff yet.

    Think about it, we made it to the moon and back with less computer power than in most cell phones today. People have forgotten how to use a paper and pencil, and a slide rule.

    I speak with Sonny very often. We have been discussing a Hemi project which will be marketed and built by myself using his block, crank, heads, valve train , and intake manifold.

    Does anyone know if the Torque V-12 will ever be produced again? Seemed like a great idea using mostly Chevy big block type parts, just more of them.

    That Sonny's engine is amazing. Spinning over 8000 rpm with a 5.75 stroke. I wonder how long the rods are? Thats 2 inches more stroke than a 427.

    I'm sorry to hear that

    Actually the old man and I talk A LOT... You need his cell phone number???

    They Ran one of the 892" engines in a Top Sportsman Car with a Turbo 400 in Vegas last weekend. Went 6.37 @ 217 with a bunch left in it. I'll look at the RacePak data and see what it's got left.

    Which intake are you going to use with it?
