The heart of the beast has arrived.

It is rumoured that the a little 4 cylinder Cummins 3.9l B engine has arrived from the factory, but may not get un-crated for a couple of days as the containers are emptied. However, a certain engineer , Chrysler race hemi in a B body drag car, has suggested that it is already a Hi-performance Assembly and that it will only require minimal changes to meet our specifications. Big turbo stronger valve springs, more fuel and lots of nitrous to cool the intake. We will tune the engine to peak HP at 4500 rpm. If we can pull that rpm in high gear we will be over 300!
I have started to contact specialists for the next stage. The first to come on board will be the guy they say is the best cam grinder for diesel power. Watch for announcement as soon as he gets back from fishing with his family.
