Four short months ago, in the June 2021 issue of RPM, we were able to get our bad boy naturally aspirated 440 cubic inch LS on the engine dyno at New Generation Engines. The results were impressive to say the least. We had hoped for and expected to make 2hp per cubic inch and when all was said and done it came in at 969hp, which works out to 2.2hp per cubic inch.
Now, with our LS mill completed and dynoed, it was time to shift gears (pun intended) back to the car once again, first by installing the motor into our Homegrown COPO chassis. It’s been a busy spring, summer and fall at the shop, not to mention life stuff, so finding time to work on the project has been tough. Luckily my Apprentice and son Brenden was able to help.
