That is a great looking engine. Good high end parts.
There is something about an NA engine that is just so pleasing.
May I ask why you went tall deck to only build a 440?
This can be done without going tall deck.
Just curious.

The car hasn’t see the light of day in months, got it dusted off and dropped off at the chassis shop so they can get to work on the cage.

I got an email tonight from LME on the motor, pictures and video below. I did not receive any information on the pull in the video other than what you see. I’m hoping to get all the info in the morning as the numbers are well below what we were thinking. It seems like the cam peeked too early @7500 for being as big as it is, would have thought 8000+. I’m hoping that this was just a first run and that they need to start making adjustments.
