    World Warhawk 427 Whipple 2.9 Supercharged

    I've been working with this customer for some time now, going on probably 6 years on and off.
    Well we're back at it and some of stuff he builds is really badass!

    He's on top of the latest engine builds and here's one of his most popular builds for conversions.
    btw, same guy I went to Germany for. These engines usually go in Cobra kit cars, those are a blast to drive too.

    I can post more specs later, but basically all good stuff, **edited**
    here are the correct specs and build info:
    Here's what the builder says:
    "THIS ENGINE IS 427 WITH WORLD PRODUCTS WARHAWK RACE BLOCK, CALLIES ROTATING ASSEMBLY, LS7 DRY SUMP, COMP CUSTOM HYD. ROLLER VALVE TRAIN, STAGE II LS7 HEADS & 2.9L WHIPPLE FRONTN FEED BLOWER WITH 10-RIB DRIVE"


    I know I know, why only 800hp, because it's about reliability. We all know how far these LSx engines can be pushed, but that's not always the case.


    btw, i'll post a pic of the biggest whipple available, looks like a damn dragster blower.

    I can post more specs later, but basically all good stuff, RHS block, good rotating kit, dry sump kit, Whipple 2300, and the obvious stuff.
    This setup is producing about 800hp on the engine dyno with 8psi.

    I'll get some cost going for you guys, they aren't cheap, but it's better and about the same as the Zr1 engine, and more hp and tq.

    I'll post some up shortly.
