This section will cover the engine only.  Accessories will be covered on their own pages as some will take substantial room as I engineer and fabricate brackets etc.

The engine is built by Dave Engel of Carriage House Custom Automotive;

It is a stroked 302 with a displacement of 331 cubic inches using all forged internals and is neutrally balanced.  Compression ratio is 10.5:1.  Cylinder heads are R&R Automotive prepared Dart Pro1 Alloy with 1.94 intake valves.  Camshaft is a custom Inglese hydraulic roller cam that motivate the valves via moly pushrods and CompCams roller rockers. Induction duties will be managed by a set of period correct Weber 48mm IDA carbs.  Carrying the spent fuel and air out the rear of the car is a beautiful 180 degree 304 Stainless steel header system and matching mufflers.  The Dyno showed 414 HP and 430 TQ.  Idled very nice with a slight lope and had instantaneous throttle response.
