Got a good deal on a kind of radical SBC.

Our family has close ties with the Bergquist family running the Autoshop Racing facility in Orlando, FL. After Lennart passed away due to cancer, his wife has currently closed down any engine assembly and deals purely with buying and re-selling any items.

I recently came across a SBC built by Lennart before he passes away, that went three passes down the quarter before getting put in a barn. The three passes were mid 7's, the quickest was a 7.44.

Here's some rather large pics, but I think you'll enjoy them nonetheless.















As for the stats, it's a 358cui putting out around 160hp/liter. Pardon my metric usage, but that pans out at around 920 - 940BHP, pure N/A.

 

sb2..pretty radical

 

Indeed it is. It's going in a 56' Bel Air that's currently having some minor rust fixed.

 

Looks like a BBC? Guess I don't work on enough stuff any more...

 

It's quite a hefty piece, definitely doesn't look like it, but it's a 358 SBC. Nearly everything is beefy as hell on it.

 

i see 900+ plus horse power there.....i think tose heads will support 1500+ hp....there is some serious money there...prob 30Gs.....

 

Yeah it's pretty hefty, it was built around 8 years ago, back then, it was even more money.

 

That motor should take care of the rust without any problem. That's my kinda art :beer

 

Haha yeah, there really is something beautiful with a high-powered machine.

 

Rust or Lightening holes?

 

There's definitely not any rust on it, although quite a few parts on this engine has been modified to save weight.

For example the crank.

 

That is definitly a bada$$ set up there.



I think the Nailhead in the backround is trying to hide from that beast.:laugh:

 

Thanks, and yeah it's pretty hardcore.

Yeah, the 425 might be a little intimidated by it. p
