Bloomquist Engines

[Krooser]

The HP in these engines is in the heads, intake and carburetor.

One shop may squeeze 15-20HP more out of an engine than another. shop. Another shop may use Oliver rods vs. Dyers or Carillo. Same with pistons... I THINK the RY45 engine use a Mahle slug... there are other companies willing to design or copy any part.

The secret is in the details... many different approaches to clearances, oiling mods, assembly techniques, tunes etc. No one guy does it the same as another.

Bloomer is smart enough to choose his engine supplier with great care. He's not the guy who simply buys what the engine shop is selling... his experience is valuble.

If he has confidence in Custom there's a reason.

engine parts i agree, castings, new crank cut, cam cut, not so much, , merry christmas to all, see ya at the races

Sounds like Custom is good to go with all they need.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

No not that much. Prolly $40k

I figured by now you and the rest of the closet worshippers had made it grow. With the BS yall spew.

How long before someone else on a national tour switches to Custom?

Probably not till 2020.

[MEE]

And with the issues last year, when he was nearly out of, if not out of engines probably left him pretty ticked off.
They almost had to use McDowell's car in a big race due to not having engines ready.
I think the Custom move is a good one. He won a lot of races in Custom Race Engines back several years ago.

Can you name another driver that had trouble
getting a new Durham engine during that same time period?

I told you folks back then that they refused him a new engine
till he paid his bill!!!!!
Scott brought all this stuff on him self

Don't run a builders name in the ground over something that
you know nothing about.

How many did Richards pop before he had to drive Schatz' s car in florida?? How many did Overton pop before Randy Clary had to drive him one down overnight?? How many did Sheppard pop that cost him the WOO title?? How many did Scott pop in Knoxville?? Anybody that says Durham didn't have a rough year is conflicted!!

Same goes for drivers, unless you know personally the in's and out's of a situation its best to stay mute.

Bloomy Engines

IMO,

This renewed partnership will be incredible; I think they connect really well.

You got your answer and now you decide not to run your mouth about him?

Dumb question for those in the know. Does Custom Race Engines share the same building as Warrior Race Cars or are they just next door to each other?

[Necrosis]

I'll take bets of any amount that this deal won't last through Speedweeks 2020. Anyone remember Jimmy's season with Custom under the hood? I think it was 2016?

They do share the same building, and I'm pretty sure Sanford owns it and they lease their side from him. That's what I was told, anyhow.

I think there is a fair chance you are right. But Custom engines will not be the weak link.

Definitely not, they’ve been winning so many races lately, surely they won’t be the weak link. Jesus......

[RaceEngineer]

Custom is new to the Ford game. Already built a winning piece for Charlotte. They never forgot how to build an engine. Unpopularity does not equal ineptitude.
