[DeTomaso] Chevy in & out of Panteras or Engine Psychology Today

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

Goran what you personally need is Joe Shubeck's 'Ultimate Piston Engine' 
which quite a few of us saw on a dyno at his shop in Las Vegas a few years 
ago. It is VERY loosely based on the 426 Hemi architecture but 100% of the 
motor is aftermarket.

It is an all aluminum 4-valve-per-cylinder DOHC,904 cubic inch EFI engine 
with dry-sump oiling. Joe claims it will idle and produces 1200 bhp at the 
flywheel, without the optional supercharger that adds another 600 bhp. He 
announced the completion of the very first one, and by return mail all known 
drag racing sanctioning bodies banned its use. So as of now, its used only in 
offshore powerboat racing. Of the 25 people that were there to see it, not 
one of us had the guts to ask the price. JUst a suggestion worthy of your 
talents- J DeRyke
