With a blown 509ci big block making 840hp Carmen’s truck is a “head turner” wherever it goes, and he takes it everywhere.
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……………
Congratulations Adrian

Youngest member of the Dandy Engines crew Adrian is now Australia’s fastest “true street” with a 10.0 pass @135 mph recently.
Being only the second time out “Age” is hoping for more out of the “X DUB” yet.
Yeah Yeah OK mate……………………now back to work.
You’re posing in front of the wrong engine too……by the way.
Congratulations Jason

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 dyno it turned out to be a real stump puller with 515ftlb……………oops……………..sorry bout that Brett.
Maybe you could put some sand bags in the boot to slow it down a bit.
