[QUOTE="351stang, post: 16889517, member: 1355"] [USER=6727]@CobraBob[/USER] and [USER=8858]@SID297[/USER] are correct. It's a GM 454 LSX crate motor that has been hopped up by Ilmor Engineering and converted to dry-sump. It made 600 rwhp on a dynojet at 6200 RPM. Redline is 6600 RPM. A CUP motor goes up to 8800 RPM and requires an exhaustive maintenance program, plus is an insanely expensive option like $50k. Just starting a CUP motor is a chore. You have to use an electric heater to get the oil up to temp and then hand prime the oil pump with a drill, put the belt on, and then you can start it. No problem with a professional team, but a real pain in the ass for a a guy running a few laps during a track day. Hendrick builds them at the same quality as their competition cars, which is nothing short of amazing. These are my friends cars. I just did the video editing. I've tagged along to Hendrick Motorsports several times during the build process. If you are near Concord, NC or passing through, I highly recommend touring their facility. Long video, but you can skip around if you are interested in seeing one small part of their facility. [MEDIA=youtube]AjWbZXrC7-Q[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
