This is the Flathead Ford V8 after it was done, before we ran it.

Just finished a 3URFE Toyota engine, this is what is in a Tundra truck, or a Toyota Land Cruiser, this engine will be twin-turbocharged and will hopefully make over 2000 horsepower.

We are finishing up a 2AR Toyota engine. It will be turbocharged, and at 28 pounds of boost, it will make 1000 horsepower at the wheels in a road race car.

The cylinder head has custom-ground mechanical cams, custom made rockers, Ferrea valves, and it has been fully ported. This engine is being shipped to the east coast.
