When we last left you, Trick Flow Specialties was in the process of building the short block for its 440 cubic inch GM LSX engine (440 LSX, Part 1). Designed for LS development work on Trick Flow’s Superflow dyno, the short block was built heck for stout—GM Performance Parts LSX iron block, 4.125-inch stroke Lunati Pro-Series
440 cubic inches used to be the domain of rip-snorting big block engines. Even more specifically, the number 440 denoted the rip-snorting big blocks produced by Mother Mopar and the Pentastar Kids. That was then, though. Thanks to the proliferation of high-quality factory and aftermarket blocks and stroker kits, you can build 440 cubes out
OK, we’ve had several people ask for the specs on the Summit Racing/Factory Five MK4 roadster project. You ask, and we deliver—sort of. In today’s post, we’ll show you what the guys at SKJ Customs received from Factory Five as part of the kit. We’ll give you the rundown of what Summit Racing used to
Work is underway on the Summit Racing/Factory Five Racing Mk4–both at Summit Racing Equipment and SKJ Customs. The crew at SKJ Customs in St. George, UT is hard at work assembling the actual Mk4, and the folks at Summit Racing continue to put the final assembly on its new Mk4 Pro Pack combos, which will allow
Back in 2012, the Summit Racing SuperSeries Top Class Champion won a brand new American Racing Cars dragster with a 565 cubic inch big block Chevy built by Trick Flow Specialties. While Trick Flow is best known for developing cylinder heads for high performance street and race use, Trick Flow also knows a thing or two
OnAllCylinders proudly presents a movie about a car that only runs on seven cylinders. Yeah…the irony isn’t lost on us. Editors from Hot Rod magazine drove an ailing El Camino 500 miles on seven cylinders, so they could swap out the engine in the parking lot of Summit Racing’s Sparks, NV store. We provided updates and
Hitting triple digits on a speedometer? Fun. Strapping into a 1,000-horsepower race rocket? Exhilarating. Painting your vehicle? Now that’s scary—at least to some hot rodders. We know lots of seasoned, do-it-yourself car guys—guys who have completely torn down engines and rebuilt them from scratch—who are afraid of paint. They’ll go elbows deep in grease and
With apologies to Dupli-Color, its latest project vehicle is quite half-baked. Actually, the paint pros at Dupli-Color are the first to admit it, and in fact, they’re quite proud of the results. That’s because they purposely completed only half of the project, a 1979 El Camino, to prove a point. The run-down Elky was restored
Three hopped up Ford motors. 960 cubic inches. Hundreds of horsepower. Enough torque to pull down small office buildings. After building our Stroker’s Wild series of Ford stroker engines–a 347-cubic-inch 5.0L, a 393-cubic-inch 351 Windsor, and a 520-cubic-inch 460–the time had come to strap them to Trick Flow Specialties’ Superflow dynometer and start whomping on
What better grand finale for our Strokers Wild series than a Ford 460 stroker project? Like we said when we kicked this project off, there’s no replacement for displacement—and this final installment gives you 520 cubic inches worth of displacement! We’re gong to show you how to punch an ordinary 460 out to 520 cubic
