Here's a little more info on this N-P Hemi; the heads were designed by Frank and Scott, cast and then approved by NHRA to run in Comp.  Scott will drive it in Jon Rowly's N&P car, at 1'st in B/ND, and then increase the injector size to run A/ND. They did allot of work on the 354 Hemi block, like bored out all the cylinders into the water jackets and welded in larger bore sleeves, because they want to run a bore and stroke like their 14° SBC.  Also built main bearing supports, and more work in the lifter casting to run a larger lift cam. And I'm sure allot more I don't know about. I guess the next step is dyno tests. The N&P heads flow a ton, I think Frank said over 450cfm.

This will be an INTERESTING combo !

Steering box is a Stiletto, now made by Chassis Shop/Pro Werks since Gary retired

Thanks Roo, you confirmed my guess.

I'll be shopping for a steering box soon (to replace my tired P&S box), so I'm paying attention. My take is that such a high end car having selected the Stiletto (Chassis Shop/Pro Werks) box means quite an endorsement, do you agree?

PS.: I also agree with the previous comment, I wish that box wasn't so bulky/squared figure.

The steering box on our car is a SPE box made of Magnesium,  Ken Cox made 4 of them for us before his death.  All of our current cars have Strange boxes as they are a real good copy of the SPE with a few improvements

I stand corrected. See what happens when you look at stuff on your phone rather than the computer monitor. I saw that it was bright and not black anodized and assumed that it was the Stiletto box.

Wonder how much Frank and Scott whittled off the block,heads,crank. Engine just looks fast. Then Parks seems to build super trick and fast stuff. Any bets on what new records going to be?

I wonder how much time this engine will spend below the 10,000 rpm mark.

Glad to see Frank poke his head in here.
May be too busy to post much, but now he knows we are talking about him and Scott.

Welcome Frank.
