What is your opinion on this 1000 HP late model motor???????

[Hendrens Racing Engines]

Think 550 cu in , not 500.we have worked out the combination,did that when the Dart billet blocks first came out. the $ 17000.00 block cost put the skids on the project. It was to be a house car engine with 14.0-1 on E-85
Same engine with higher comp on race gas would make 1000 on a bad day. I would still like to build the engine in the lower compression ratio,if someone wants one that will pull a locomotive

[stockcar5]

bill is close. its a 560ci big block.

You sure that it is a big block? It looks like a Dart 4.50 bore space SBC...No body in their right mind wants that big heavy recipricating weight of a big block. A 1,000 hp big block is no big deal. Been around for a long time..I think it is one of the new large displacement small blocks....Might be wrong...

[giffordracing]

its alcohol fed small block...
Dont no where Id use it ..But Id like to drop the hammer once

thats NOT a 4.5 bore spacing small block, look a little closer it has big block heads on it and yeslike you said 1000 hp out of a big block isnt any kind of record

[giffordracing]

ya after a closer look...You are exactly right..BB heads...being they said dirt late model I figured small block..Wrong..lol
Not that Impressive then

[connor]

The are making a new block takes small block internals that uses big block heads special crank raised cam.

[dirty white boy]

one them newer ls motors stroked out should pump out close to 1000 hp,...an id guess 8-900 foot lbs,...but gonna costs a lot if it go boom!!

Look at the intake in the picture and tell me what you notice. http://www.edgeracingengines.com/

[runyou-2]

Looks like a sb intake on a bb head. And back driver side bolt needs re-torqued.

[Egoracing]

The two runners are kinda close together, don't ya think? They are NOT in line with the ones on the other side either.

[hucktyson]

Omg its a god (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) big block, it was discussd on another page, it has big block heads, big block intake and big block valve covers !!!!! What sb chevy intake do you propose that is ??? its not a brodix 1010 its not a dart little cheif its not an sb2.2 and not one (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) peice of that motor even resembles an ls motor in any way shape or form. its a dam big block i beleive they said its a 540 cubic inch, and they beleive that this peice will revolutionize dirt late models even though a 9 degree bid bore is way lighter, accelerates way quicker, and will already over power any race track out there so please tell me how or why on earth the big block is a good idea ???

A guy at our local track runs a 572 ]crate motor from gm, and he runs well with it.I think they are around 730 hp or so.Doesnt seem like the extra weight hurts him a whole bunch.

[bushracing67]

i think clanton ran one at wvms a few times this past season, ran up front every night, i believe best finish with it was 2nd place, 540" and if i remember right they said it was 40# heavier than a 430, and yeah, thats all big block

Edge Racing Engines might not have the big name but Chris has been building engines for 25 years. I also can garuntee they will offer any driver a great product and a great line of service you can ask any driver that has raced his engines.
Ok I've personally watched this motor come together as I'm a crew member of Chris Rhodes. Chris has been developing this motor for years! He has done more R&D on this than probably any other engine builder has put in any motor. Yes it is a 560 Big Block and of course we all know big blocks can put out 1000+ HP... This engine has been designed to work in a DLM and be very productive for any racer. Most people say why would you want it when a small block is cheaper and getting the job done for years but when those guys are winning they are hooked up to the track and have it to the floor... why not want a couple hundred more ponies under the hood? This isn't nascar racing where speed is limited this DTR and isn't all about going FASTER?

If you have any questions about it call Chris his cell number is one the website he'll answer any questions you may have. Also more specs are to be on the website this week!
