Here is what it looked like when I started. We also changed fuels to do away with the coolant and intercooler for a rather large weight savings.

Very very nice. More specs? Like everything. I love the simplicity, and symmetry. I assume duel fuel rails for methanol? Especially with no rad. Is it a solid CNC block or filled?, head gaskets type?

The hardest part of a race car is making it look simple. Your going to make me get my project out of the trailer now. Love the car, more pics on request.


As a racer and pilot i have two loves, speed and aluminum, you have large quantities of both.

Some specs of the motor/build can be found here. http://wildbilldevine.com It is a Meth car. We converted to Meth last season in it. The intent is to run XTF in ADRL with the car in 2011. I am waiting on the Engine Managment System to arrive to wire it up so we can get on to some testing. The car will be at PRI next week in the Bullseye Power booth.

Thanks much

I will have take some shots of the headers. They are old, and were modified to move the turbos, but are nice pieces.

It is a cast RDI 8.2 deck block with empty water ports. It is bored and stroked to 360ish inches. Copper gaskets. Bill has used this motor combo for many years. This is the most ridiculous 5.0 SBF motor I have ever seen. The car should weigh in at 2250lbs with driver now. It needs to run 4.0 at near 200mph in the 1/8 mile to be competitive on a 10.5" tire.
