Making this British beauty get up and go is a 568 cubic-inch New Century Performance cast aluminum engine block (Chevrolet big block platform) topped with a set of spread bore cylinder heads from (Larry Olsen) E.P.D. Racing Heads. The turbochargers are Precision and the controller is a Fuel Tech 600.
The current owner admired this car from afar for quite some time. He finally obtained it only a short time ago and he is working the bugs out of the new build. He made great progress in this clip, going from over 8-seconds all the way down to a 7.5-second pass at 188 mph.
I can’t wait to see where these guys are headed in stodgy old England. Seems as though they have a license to kill (thinly veiled James Bond reference) so, who knows how soon we’ll see a 6-second pass.
