Inside a 3,000 HP Big Block Chevy!!

Thank you to @SummitRacing for being a partner on this engine build!

World Cast Iron Merlin IV BBC Part # WRL-095110

Also - thank you to the following partners for supply killer parts that makes this 3,000 hp goal possible!

It's finally time to get the 55 back out! Last year when we hurt our engine, our spare one was not ready - we were waiting on parts. So we ended up sitting out the second half of the race season. But! Finally all of the pieces have come together and we are putting together my new engine to get ready for Sick Week coming up at the end of January. This is very similar to the engine that was in it before, just a few upgrades. Plus! now we can get the other one repaired and it can go back in dad's Nova finally! Check out all the pieces that make this 3,000 hp target possible, as well as why we choose some of the pieces that we choose to run.

Excellent.... Alex and Dennis make such a good team... Alex you're one lucky girl having a dad like Dennis in so many ways...

[davidsullivan]

Thank you very much. I’m 65 and like your dad I love the in and outs of the motor. Nobody makes these kind of videos anymore. My bucket list would be watching someone like your dad putting a motor together from start to smoke. So thank you very much for sharing.

Wow, Alex knows more about her engine than a lot of good mechanics. She's lucky to have a father that brought her up to know everything that is going on with her/his cars. He's lucky to have a daughter so hands on and smart. It's clear she is not a spoiled brat and appreciates and works hard for what she has.

Don't throw the rods out. If you want, you can give them to someone that buys your apparel or sell them on or site with an autograph. Your fans would like that.

[tlambertco]

Wow, I am an old motor head and this is one of the most concise motor videos I have seen. Father and Daughter teams are BadAss, to begin with, but Alex you are definitely much more than a driver, Your understanding of the function, design, and application of all the components is phenomenal. Your Dad must be the proudest father at the track. I learned a lot about some of the new technology being used in today's Hot rods. Good Luck with the 2024 Season.
