The crankshaft is the backbone of any Mouse or Rat. Without a good, strong crankshaft, your high performance Chevy engine (or any engine, for that matter) risks catastrophic injury. Whether you’re building a small or big block from the ground up, or adding serious modifications to your existing mill, it’s important that you match your crankshaft
Warren Johnson is drag racing legend. During the 1990s, “the Professor” dominated the NHRA’s Pro Stock class, winning six world championships en route to 97 career wins. He was also the first driver to take a Pro Stock car past the 180-, 190-, and 200-miles-per-hour marks. In recent years, Johnson has scaled back his NHRA
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Shelby GT350 nameplate, Ford has decided to produce a limited run of 2015 Shelby GT350 and GT350R models. How limited? Only 100 Shelby GT350s and 37 of the competition-tuned GT350R models will be made before switching over to 2016 model year production. Of the 100 GT350 models, 50 will be equipped with
