Big Block Madness! This little guy is going to be a mean sob. E-CNC 355 heads, Roller components, Jesel cam belt drive and MSD crank trigger ignition. Just finished up clearancing, blending the cylinder to chamber design, valve job and test fitting the belt drive.

It's not often I'll be able to say I ground a Ford Model T race cam. These little guys have a top speed of 62 mph which is an improvement from the 40-45 mph top speed right from Henry Ford himself.

Well I'm proud to say that my 9.0:1 spec engines keep on making more power with each one I build. This last engine had 52 pulls on it to find that extra power. It's coming off the dyno at a whopping 395 hp and 425 torque. I wanted to hit that 400 hp mark but time is not on my side right now. The customer and I are very pleased with the results we ended with.

Here's a message to all the racers that have open engines. I have an A mod engine in here that was freshened by a reputable company 15 nights old. I'm in awe how these guys can put a Frankenstein engine together and charge premium price. Racers are supposed to have trust in their builder to supply them with the best quality they can in parts AND labor! I promise you this, if you find a builder that works to make you AND his business more successful, you'll never be disappointed! Find someone that doesn't build your engine with their eyes closed like them one I'm fixing now! On a more positive note, I can't wait for race season to begin! Ricke's Engines is going to have some real heavy hitters out there this season!

This was a Pro Systems 750 Alcohol carb that ran really well but was looking worn down with the old dichromate finish and rusty throttle plates. The throttle shafts were replaced with thinned Quick Fuel shafts, plates were replaced with aluminum ones and the boosters were replaced with ones that are polished. The rest was all refurbished and polished. I powder coated it to give it a nice finish and assembled it with new hardware to make it look like a $1000 carb with very little invested! I love turning junk into gems!

Hudson camshaft reground and tappet clearanced. Cast cams sure do look good when they need clearancing! The picture doesn't do it justice.
