Quote:Someone once told me that to get this kind of power from a little pushrod four cylinder engine that was originally designed to be an economy engine, you need a balance beam scale.

Into the dish on one side, you place your engine. To balance it up, you start to stack $20 bills on the other side. When it's all nicely balanced, you take the engine, & the money, to the best engine builder in the country, then wait for his phone call.

Now, i don't know how true that is, but then again, maybee they should be $50 bills.

I guess it can be done, but engine reliability & expected life span decreases almost exponentially once the power figure rises above a certain point. Do words like 'Methanol' or 'Nitro methane' strike a familiar note?
