Setting the Stage
"I know it'll make much more than 700 at peak and have strong average numbers to score well in the Challenge. The cam is pretty aggressive, and with a slightly milder cam this would be a great street engine. The valvesprings are not huge, and the test rpm range is low. I wanted to build and test with a mule shortblock the way Joe Sherman did last year, and then bring my fresh stuff to the Challenge, but I found a crack in my spare block and I can't test with it now. So, this is it; this is my only engine. I hope it does well, and I hope the Buick fans out there see how much potential there is in a stock block/stock crank combination like this. It takes more time and effort than a Chevy would, and probably more money, too." We at PHR know it's cool to have something different, and if it happens to be a near-800 horse Buick pump gas engine, we're on board! Thanks Bruce, and we wish you the best of luck in the Engine Masters Challenge!
