Not Advanced Tech (or even close). Moving to General.

Hope you plan on running some serious race gas and spinning to the moon.

HKE does a lot of good, quality work. So do a lot of our other sponsors.


Any reason you are going with some few cubes? You're going to be looking at a BIG solid roller with some amazing(ly expensive) heads, sheetmetal intake, etc.

The class dictates the cu. in. limit.. I understand the race gas and high rpm.. I need someone that can build a great engine with understanding the strains of a bonneville engine..8000 plus rpm for MILES.. Thanks Dan

P.S. sorry for posting in wrong section to start with..

LME makes LMRs' engines? Could be wrong.

There is a huge difference in a street/weekend warrior engine and a max effort one built for a land speed record attempt. Chose your builder with care. Earl Dutweiler is well versed in LS engine technology and has built many engines for Bonneville.

VSpeed vote here, but I'm a little biased. Looked for long time and spoke to a lot of builders for my project. I was looking for a builder where I didn't feel like I was being sold parts but instead build me a "application specific combo". Lol, can't deny I added a few parts to the "combo"...mainly because the power drug is overwhelming , but it's going to be a beast when dust settles.

Shawn and Ed have been great to deal with, give them a call...
