1000ci Motor? We were having a discussion in the lounge about it. According to the guy who saw it, they had an engine on Horsepower Tv that was 1000 cubic inches. I figured I would post it here and see if any of you guys would know anymore about this engine? Here is a link to the thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/racer-s-lounge/246223-holy-shit-1000-ci-motor-hp-tv-now.html
Please if anyone knows anything about this motor please chime in.

I saw the episode. it is around 800ci and can be bored to 1000ci. It was designed for boat racing. Check the horsepower website, they may have something on it. Imagine over a thousand hp on an extremely streetable engine. only had like 9.5:1 compression. Imagine the power it would make with 12:1.

don't know about max power for a race fuel ingesting motor, but before i decided to go with what i've got, i called Fast Times about a 588 motor on about 9.5 to 1 cr and pump gas that makes 950 hp!!! even more with a vaccuum pump.

But here's the catch: Lloyds insures the car on the race track at 7.00 and above, not in the 6s. So I'm currently using 7.00 as the floor for the car.

I wonder how much it would weigh. If aluminum could even take that much abuse from racing...

I haven't made it out to a Pro-Stock Superbowl event yet? How big are they?

I love Power-Boat motors. At Owens we've done everything from Mercruiser SC1000's to 600+inch Donovan Blocked, All-Aluminum, 1,500HP Rat Motors.
We just finished up two motors for a customer named Richard Monicle. They're 632's with 1471 blowers on them. They make about 1,400HP each. He probably spent about 120k on them. They're going in his SCARAB sometime in the next month. He claims he's going to go flying across Clear Lake at 170MPH, and with 2,800HP on tap, I'll bet he get's pretty close. The really scary part is that these are just stand-in motors until we finish up his 'real' motors.
