Andre’s XT
January 19, 2010 – 11:01 pm
Andre’s XT is a stock block 383ci Cleveland with CHI heads and makes a very stout 650hp. It runs a 10.39 @ 130mph in street trim on radial tyres and mufflers, with a relatively slow 60 ft time. Not bad for a daily driver……………

Slight overshoot on power output
January 12, 2010 – 3:39 am
When Ford Engineer Brett had us build him a new motor for his project car he had one specific requirement. He said “I need to try and get 460ftlb of torque”. So not wanting to dissapoint we did everything we could to make sure the 408ci Clevo was a ”torky motor”. When we put it on the [...]
